National Instruments (NI-DAQmx) DAQ drivers for instro

instro-daq-ni

National Instruments DAQ drivers for instro.

This package contributes NIDAQDriver under instro.daq.drivers.ni. The driver talks to NI multifunction DAQ hardware through the NI-DAQmx runtime via the nidaqmx Python binding, and runs behind the InstroDAQ hardware abstraction alongside the other DAQ vendors.

Installation

pip install 'instro[nidaq]'

The NI-DAQmx runtime is a separate vendor install from National Instruments and is required at runtime on Linux and Windows.

Usage

Construct the driver with the device name as it appears in NI MAX, then pass it to InstroDAQ:

from instro.daq import InstroDAQ
from instro.daq.drivers.ni import NIDAQDriver

daq = InstroDAQ(name="myDAQ", driver=NIDAQDriver(device_id="Dev1"))

See the DAQ guides for channel configuration, hardware timing, and publishing to Nominal Core.
