About
The nimi-python repository generates Python bindings (Application Programming Interface) for interacting with the Modular Instrument drivers. The following drivers are supported:
NI-DCPower (Python module: nidcpower)
NI-Digital Pattern Driver (Python module: nidigital)
NI-DMM (Python module: nidmm)
NI-FGEN (Python module: nifgen)
NI-ModInst (Python module: nimodinst)
NI-SCOPE (Python module: niscope)
NI Switch Executive (Python module: nise)
NI-SWITCH (Python module: niswitch)
NI-TClk (Python module: nitclk)
It is implemented as a set of Mako templates and per-driver metafiles that produce a Python module for each driver. The driver is called through its public C API using the ctypes Python library.
nimi-python supports all the Operating Systems supported by the underlying driver.
nimi-python follows Python Software Foundation support policy for different versions. At this time this includes Python 3.7 and above using CPython.

Or easy_install from setuptools:
$ python -m easy_install nimodinst

Usage
The following is a basic example of using the nimodinst module to retrieve information on all High Speed Digitizers currently in the system.
import nimodinst
with nimodinst.Session("niscope") as session:
for device in session:
print("{: >20} {: >15} {: >10}".format(device.device_name, device.device_model, device.serial_number))Other usage examples can be found on GitHub.
