Merge branch 'master' of https://promethe.u-cergy.fr/blaar/bapps

+Set of programs to manipulate data in blc_channels. They do not have any lib dependency.
+
+Acquire input values
+====================
+
+from files
+----------
+
+`i_fread <filename.tsv>` reads a line of data from the file in tsv (i.e. '0.3  0.55    0.56    ' is a vector of 3 values) and creates a channel (a vector) containing these data.
+If there are many lines, it updates the data as fast as possible with each time.
+It is very fast you can be either be synchronized or using **-p** to requiert a minimal time between each update.
+You can also use a first column describing the time in µs to read the line.
+Finaly you can limit the number of line read by using -n.
+
+To load sound or images, see [i_sndfile](http://blaar.org/../sndfile) and [i_pngfile](http://blaar.org/../png)
+
+from keyboard
+-------------
+
+`i_keyboard` changes values with the keyboard arrows or specific keys:
+
+    Waiting for one key in '0123456789abcdef'. Quitting with 'q'
+    /i_keyboard31058
+
+This means that a channel (/i_keyboard31058) of 16 ( by default there is 16 characters in the string) 'UIN8' has been created.
+Press Up and Down to increase or decrease the first value. Use Right and Left or one key of the key list to select another value to change.
+`Esc` sets the value back to neutral values (default 50% i.e. 127)
+
+i_keyboard has many options (use `i_keyboard -h` to list them) we illustrate some:
+
+    i_keyboard  -d -tFL32 -k abcd -o/toto
+
+Creates a channel '/toto' of 4 float values between 0 and 1 and display the pourcentage in text mode.
+
+    100%(1.00) [/toto] |
+    ^            
+    | 49 49 49 49
+    | [] [] [] []
+     0%(0.000)  >
+    >|#a| b| c| d|
+
+We see the initial values are set to 49% (i.e. 0.5) and we can chenge them with the arrow.
+You could change the initial value by changing the neutral value (-N).
+You can change the min and max with -m and -M. The default step of one keypressed in 0.004 (~1/256) or 1 with UIN8 type.
+It can be changed with -S.
+
+Sometime you do not want intermediate values but only toggle to max and min. Then use -T.
+
+from oscillator
+---------------
+
+`i_oscillator -o/toto` generates sinusoidale oscillations and put it in the channel /toto. 
+You can specify the frequency with -f and the refresh rate with -r.
+The refresh rate defines how often you will update the value of the oscillator but will not change the frequency.
+
+You can use a buffer to keep the historic of the oscillation.
+
+
+Generate outputs
+================
+
+to a file
+---------
+
+`o_fread <channel> -f <filename.tsv>` create a tsv file with the data of the channel. The options are symetrical with i_fread.
