• Major Changes

  • Added a generator that produces the nidaqmx module code.
  • Some properties were renamed in an effort to improve the consistency of the nidaqmx module and to support maintainability of the generator. The previous names are still usable, but will emit a DeprecationWarning on usage. These deprecated properties may be removed in a future update.
  • Unused enums have been removed. This affects enums that are solely used by DAQmx features that are not supported in the nidaqmx module, such as external calibration, the DAQmx switch API, and internal APIs.
  • Refactored the repository folder structure as follows:
    • generated/nidaqmx/ - The output of the code generator and source for the build nidaqmx module. Do not directly modify any files in this folder.
    • examples/ - Example programs demonstrating how to use the nidaqmx module.
    • src/codegen/ - The code generator.
    • src/handwritten/ - Hand-maintained files that are copied as-is during code generation.
    • tests - Test code that exercises the nidaqmx module to ensure it functions correctly and doesn't introduce regressions.
  • Multiple various test improvements in support of the generator refactoring.
