Help with installation of USB-6363 and Python

[med_device]

I'm running Windows 11 with NI device monitor and a USB-6363.  The NI device monitor and USB-6363 appear to be working fine:

I'm also running pycharm community edition  2024.3.1.1, and Python 3.13.1 and the following example:

import nidaqmx

with nidaqmx.Task() as task:
    task.ai_channels.add_ai_voltage_chan("Dev1/ai0")
    task.read()

print("test")

When I run the program, I get no errors and no output, except for "test".

Any suggestions?  I'm not even sure where to begin.

You need to store the read value in a variable and print it to see the value you read.

Try running the DAQmx example, https://github.com/ni/nidaqmx-python/tree/master/examples

BTW, only one application can access DAQ hardware, this means, either your Python code must access or the Test panel not both at the same time.

Thanks, that worked!

Note that python nidaqmx examples  are not that good or let's say exhaustive. Earlier, I got the nice recommendation to look at C examples and translate to python API (which may still not be that easy).

Don't hesitate to post on forum, this will enrich python  usage
