Getting Started

In order to run this program you need a Python Anaconda distribution and the NI-Visa drivers. For more information on how to install see the Installation guide.

Setting Up The Environement

With python up and running you can run the the environement_setup.py file by:

python environement_setup.py

this will (when Anaconda is installed) automatically install all required modules for the program to run. If you don’t have Anaconda installed and don’t want to use it, you can look in the “requirements.yml” file to see what dependencies the program needs.

Running The Program

Now it should be possible to run the program by:

python UniDAQ.py

If you do not have Anaconda installed, start the program via

python main.py

Note

If you running UniDAQ in a normal python distribution you have to install all modules by hand. No environement will be set up for you. For needed modules see the requirements.yml file.

Warning

If you run into a problem like, python does not find the environement, python was not recognised or a module cannot be found. Make sure the Anaconda python is accessible from the command prompt.

If something does not work out as planned try to test if everything was correctly installed on your system. Just follow the instructions on Once installed, test

If everything has worked you should see a GUI pop up, which (depending on which GUI version you have) should look like this
