To use this controller you need first to install the NI-DAQmx driver from http://www.ni.com/downloads/ni-drivers/f/. Then you also need to install PyDAQmx python module:: $ git clone https://github.com/clade/PyDAQmx $ cd PyDAQmx $ C:\Python34\Tools\Scripts\2to3.py -w . $ python setup.py build $ python setup.py install Then, you can run the PXI6733 controller:: $ pxi6733_controller -d Dev1 Then, send a load_sample_values command to it via the ``artiq_rpctool`` utility:: $ artiq_rpctool ::1 3256 list-targets Target(s): pxi6733 $ artiq_rpctool ::1 3256 call load_sample_values 'np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], dtype=float)' This loads 4 voltage values as a numpy float array: 1.0 V, 2.0 V, 3.0 V, 4.0 V Then the device is set up to output those samples at each rising edge of the clock.
