What I understood of NiDAQ, is that with one driver, and one piece of client code, we could support a range of devices (analog, digital i/o, any number). No need for a specific driver, or special case for the basic usages of these devices. I think this was the elegance of NiDAQ system. > > Also, I'm not sure whether the Windows and Linux drivers > are compatible.

Sure, there probably will be minor differences, and I can sure find out via the python way, if there is a significant difference between Windows & Linux.

That's a bit too specific for us to > provide any useful input, I'd say. In the previous attempt to build the python bindings for Windows, I miserable failed (On both Windows and Fedora). So that is probably a league ahead of me. Maybe it is possible for me to pipe the data from a python script, real time into Sigrok/Pulseview? Maybe a python script can function as a fake device for Sigrok? As long as there is an entry point into Sigrok, which besides the data, could also specify some metadata like amount & type of channels, I could get something working. -- Greetings, Henk Hendricks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
