dirigo-ni-digitizer

dirigo-ni-digitizer provides a National Instruments (NI-DAQmx)–based implementation of the Digitizer interface from Dirigo. It allows NI X-series and S-series DAQ boards to be used as digitizers within Dirigo acquisition workflows (e.g. galvo–galvo scanning, analog and photon-counting).

Note
This is a hardware plugin for Dirigo and is not intended to be used as a standalone library.

Installation

First install the NI-DAQmx drivers from official NI channels. Then, inside your Python environment (e.g. a conda environment), run:

pip install dirigo-ni-digitizer

It is recommended to verify that your NI device is recognized in NI MAX or the Hardware Configuration Utility before using this plugin.

This library depends on the NI-DAQmx API and its associated drivers, which must be installed and configured separately. This library interacts with the NI-DAQmx API through the officially supported nidaqmx Python wrappers. Compatibility and performance depend on the proper installation and operation of these third-party components.
