About
The nimi-python repository generates Python bindings (Application Programming Interface) for interacting with the Modular Instrument drivers. Currently, the following drivers are supported:
NI-DCPower (Python module: nidcpower)
NI-DMM (Python module: nidmm)
NI-FGEN (Python module: nifgen)
NI-SCOPE (Python module: niscope)
NI-SWITCH (Python module: niswitch)
NI-ModInst (Python module: nimodinst)
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 supports Python 2.7, 3.4 and later using CPython or PyPy.
