nidmm module¶
Installation¶
As a prerequisite to using the nidmm module, you must install the NI-DMM runtime on your system. Visit ni.com/downloads to download the driver runtime for your devices.
The nimi-python modules (i.e. for NI-DMM) can be installed with pip:
$ python -m pip install nidmm~=0.8.0
Or easy_install from setuptools:
$ python -m easy_install nidmm
Usage¶
The following is a basic example of using the nidmm module to open a session to a DMM and perform a 5.5 digits of resolution voltage measurement in the 10 V range.
import nidmm
with nidmm.Session("Dev1") as session:
session.configureMeasurementDigits(nidmm.Function.DC_VOLTS, 10, 5.5)
print("Measurement: " + str(session.read()))
Additional examples for NI-DMM are located in src/nidmm/examples/ directory.
