DAQ (Data Acquisition)

Data acquisition systems.

Instrument and Abstract Driver

InstroDAQ	Initialize an InstroDAQ.
DAQDriverBase	Vendor DAQ driver contract.
HWTimestamper	Contiguous nanosecond timestamps for hardware-timed DAQ batches.

Vendor Drivers

Vendor	Model	Description
Keysight	34980A	Keysight 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure Unit.
National Instruments	NI-DAQmx	NI-DAQmx DAQ driver.
LabJack	T-series	LabJack T-series DAQ driver (T4/T7/T8 via the LJM library).
Measurement Computing	USB-series	MCC (Universal Library / mcculw) DAQ driver.
Dewesoft	DewesoftX (unstable)	Streams live sync and async channels from a running DewesoftX instance over DCOM.

Scaling

Scaler	Convert a raw DAQ reading to a physical value and report the resulting units.
LinearScaler	output = raw * gain + offset.
ReverseLinearScaler	output = (raw - offset) / gain — inverse of LinearScaler, e.g. to back out a measurement amplifier.
ScalerPipeline	Apply scaler stages sequentially (e.g. voltage divider → thermocouple).

Thermocouple Scaling

ThermocoupleSensor	Thermocouple voltage → °C with cold-junction compensation.
InverseThermocoupleSensor	Temperature (°C) → voltage with cold-junction compensation — inverse of ThermocoupleSensor.
TC_TYPE
TC_UNIT
kelvin_to_unit	Convert a Kelvin temperature to unit.
unit_to_kelvin	Convert a temperature in unit to Kelvin.
