        About
        =====
        
        The **nimi-python** repository generates Python bindings (Application Programming Interface) for interacting with the Modular Instrument drivers. The
        following drivers are supported:
        
        * NI-DCPower (Python module: nidcpower)
        * NI-Digital Pattern Driver (Python module: nidigital)
        * NI-DMM (Python module: nidmm)
        * NI-FGEN (Python module: nifgen)
        * NI-ModInst (Python module: nimodinst)
        * NI-SCOPE (Python module: niscope)
        * NI Switch Executive (Python module: nise)
        * NI-SWITCH (Python module: niswitch)
        * NI-TClk (Python module: nitclk)
        
        It is implemented as a set of `Mako templates <http://makotemplates.org>`_ and per-driver metafiles that produce a Python module for each driver. The driver is
        called through its public C API using the `ctypes <https://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html>`_ Python library.
        
        **nimi-python** supports all the Operating Systems supported by the underlying driver.
        
        **nimi-python** follows `Python Software Foundation <https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches>`_ support policy for different versions. At
        this time this includes Python 3.5 and above using CPython.

        Installation
        ------------
        
        As a prerequisite to using the nise module, you must install the NI Switch Executive runtime on your system. Visit `ni.com/downloads <http://www.ni.com/downloads/>`_ to download the driver runtime for your devices.
        
        The nimi-python modules (i.e. for **NI Switch Executive**) can be installed with `pip <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`_::
        
          $ python -m pip install nise~=1.3.0
        
        Or **easy_install** from
        `setuptools <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_::
        
          $ python -m easy_install nise

        Usage
        ------
        
        The following is a basic example of using the **nise** module to open a session to a Switch Executive Virtual Device and connect a routegroup.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            import nise
            with nise.Session('SwitchExecutiveExample') as session:
                session.connect('DIOToUUT')
        
        Additional examples for NI Switch Executive are located in src/nise/examples/ directory.
