Installation
As a prerequisite to using the niscope module, you must install the NI-SCOPE runtime on your system. Visit ni.com/downloads to download the driver runtime for your devices.
The nimi-python modules (i.e. for NI-SCOPE) can be installed with pip:
$ python -m pip install niscope~=1.4.8
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 niscope module to open a session to a High Speed Digitizer and capture a single record of 1000 points.
import niscope
with niscope.Session("Dev1") as session:
session.channels[0].configure_vertical(range=1.0, coupling=niscope.VerticalCoupling.AC)
session.channels[1].configure_vertical(range=10.0, coupling=niscope.VerticalCoupling.DC)
session.configure_horizontal_timing(min_sample_rate=50000000, min_num_pts=1000, ref_position=50.0, num_records=5, enforce_realtime=True)
with session.initiate():
waveforms = session.channels[0,1].fetch(num_records=5)
for wfm in waveforms:
print('Channel {}, record {} samples acquired: {:,}\n'.format(wfm.channel, wfm.record, len(wfm.samples)))
# Find all channel 1 records (Note channel name is always a string even if integers used in channel[])
chan1 = [wfm for wfm in waveforms if wfm.channel == '0']
# Find all record number 3
rec3 = [wfm for wfm in waveforms if wfm.record == 3]
If you need faster fetch performance, or to directly interface with SciPy, you can use the fetch_into() method instead of fetch(). See the fetch_into example.
Other usage examples can be found on GitHub.
