----------
PXI6733 controller usage example
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This controller has only been tested on Windows so far.
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.
