--------------------------------------------

The Quanser HIL SDK for the x86-based 64-bit Linux operating system. Testing was done on an out-of-the-box 64-bit Ubuntu PC. The Quanser Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) SDK, also known as the Quanser HIL SDK, provides device drivers and a set of C functions (API) for accessing Quanser hardware (devices and data acquisition cards).

The Quanser HIL SDK for the x86-based 64-bit Linux operating system provides access to the following devices:
- Quanser Qube-Servo 3
- Quanser QUBE Servo 2 - USB 
- Quanser AERO
- Quanser QArm

To install the Quanser HIL SDK on x86-based 64-bit Linux:
- Copy all the files in the desired target directory onto the target.
- On the target computer, uninstall previous versions of the Quanser HIL SDK on the target by running the following command:
    sudo uninstall_hil_sdk
- On the target computer, go to the directory where you copied the files and run the following commands:

The Quanser HIL SDK documentation and examples on x86-based 64-bit Linux:
- Documentation can be found under /opt/quanser/hil_sdk/help/index.html
