labjack_ud_rs: Rust Bindings for the LabJack UD Library

This package is a Rust binding for the LabJack UD library, allowing you to connect to and operate LabJack's U series devices directly from Rust code. As with the UD library itself, this package is only compatible with Rust code deployed on Windows

Documentation for LabJack's UD can be found here: https://support.labjack.com/docs/ud-library-user-s-guide

This binding is built using the bindgen library; doccumentation for bindgen can be found here: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen/

User guide

This package is very barebones, and essentially only provides the most basic wrapper of the UD's C++ functions. A few notes:

• When connected, a LabJack device is refered to by a pointer to an i32 called its handle. Connection functions should return a device's handle, and this handle is then used for all subsequent UD calls to interact with the device. An example function to connect to a U6 device is included in lib.rs in this package.
• All UD calls must be warpped in an unsafe{} block
