Bellevue, WA, June 8, 2016 -- Microstar Laboratories, Inc., maker of Data Acquisition Processor (DAP) systems for PC-based high-performance measurement applications, has added an article to its web site that discusses how a DAP system and its onboard operating system, DAPL, can be used with Python for high-performance data acquisition. The article focuses on digitizing multiple audio channels.
Python is a flexible working environment, well-suited to managing short, repeatable tests. The Python part of the system ably organizes and manages the data with its built-in library capabilities.
All of the complicated real-time interactions with hardware devices are delegated to the DAPL operating system running in an embedded environment on the DAP boards. Automatic buffering and data transfer management are provided by the DAPL system. On the host application side, the DAPIO programming interface provides access functions for configuration, process management, and data storage.
The result is that you do not need special real-time operating system configurations or customized Python implementations.
Read the article to see how you can get the best of both worlds when implementing a high-performance data acquisition system with Python and DAP systems. Working in parallel, DAP systems and Python systems can form an effective partnership, with the onboard DAPL system taking care of the time-critical matters, and with the Python system free to do its varied processing on its own terms.
