Open Data Acquisition Platform

The openDAQ SDK offers a standardized interface to a variety of data acquisition hardware. It is easy to use and allows rapid integration of test and measurement systems from different vendors, such as HBK and DEWESoft.

Installation

The package is currently only available as binary wheels that have been built and testeng for the following combinations:

• 64-bit Windows and Python 3.11
• x86_64 Ubuntu 22.04 and Python 3.10

It might not work on Linux distributions with older GLIBC.

On supported systems you can install it with:

pip install opendaq

Quick-start

You can start the application by creating a new instance:

import opendaq

# Create a fresh openDAQ(TM) instance that we will use for all the interactions with the openDAQ(TM) SDK
instance = opendaq.Instance()

In order to list all the available devices, run:

for connection_string, device_info in instance.available_devices.items():
    print("Name:", device_info.name, "Connection string:", connection_string)

When using just a reference module without being connected to a physical device, the expected output will be

Name: Device 0 Connection string: daqref://device0
Name: Device 1 Connection string: daqref://device1
