This section gives a short overview about the concepts and terminology
used in the manual.
Figure 2-1 shows the operational area of
libRASCH. Programs from User-space will call libRASCH to access
measurements stored in files, to display signals on the screen and to
process the signal. In the following "User-space" means all programs,
which use the external interface of libRASCH (the API of libRASCH). Also
programs like Matlab or Octave, for which an interface is available,
are user-space programs (and the scripts used in this
programs). "Library-space" describes the internal interfaces used in
libRASCH. And "Filesystem" describes the real files used to store the
measurement data on disk.
