Microstar Laboratories DAPtools for Python API module

The DAPtools for Python API module from Microstar Laboratories extends capabilities previously accessible in C, C++, C#, Basic and other programming environments so that data acquisition applications operating under strict time constraints can be developed using the Python language. It is supplied as part of the DAPtools Basic Software that is provided with each DAP or xDAP data acquisition system.

API extension enables data acquisition applications written using Python programming language. This is not a reduced or specialised language variant — it supports the complete, full-featured Python environment.

DAPtools for Python works with the DAPL 2000 system, DAP boards for PCI and PCI-X host systems, the DAPL 3000 system, the xDAP data acquisition engines and on host systems operating Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP or Windows Server.

The product combines the regularity and precision of DAP systems with the software flexibility of the Python environment. Typical applications would be ad hoc quick tests or configurable scripting for test automation not bound to specific large application platforms.
