[etherlab-users] Using EtherLab to to collect force sensor data

[Dr.-Ing. Wilhelm Hagemeister]

Hallo Justin,

indeed you need an application. The EtherCAT-Master is more or less like 
a Ethernet driver which gives you the ability to access the network 
stack but has no application functionality (my apologies to the 
programmers of EtherCAT and Ethernet for simplification here). Look at 
the examples which come with the EtherCAT Master.
