$ python -m pip install nifgen~=1.5.0
Contributing
We welcome contributions! You can clone the project repository, build it, and install it by following these instructions.
Usage
The following is a basic example of using the nifgen module to open a session to a Function Generator and generate a sine wave for 5 seconds.
import nifgen
import time
with nifgen.Session("Dev1") as session:
session.output_mode = nifgen.OutputMode.FUNC
session.configure_standard_waveform(waveform=nifgen.Waveform.SINE, amplitude=1.0, frequency=10000000, dc_offset=0.0, start_phase=0.0)
with session.initiate():
time.sleep(5)Other usage examples can be found on GitHub.
