Hello everyone,
I’m planning to use the USB-1208HS-4AO DAQ for an upcoming project where I want to use the DAQ to control four voltage amplifiers (4AO) and read their sensors (8 DI). I need a high sample rate > .5 MS/s and have a few questions:
1. Mac Silicone (M1, M2, M3) Compatibility:
Is the USB-1208HS-4AO DAQ compatible with Apple’s new Mac chips running macOS?
Are the drivers compatible with the latest versions of macOS?
2. Python Interface and Software Recommendations:
Can I interface with the USB-1208HS-4AO using Python on macOS?
What software tools or libraries are recommended for data acquisition with this DAQ on macOS?/ Is there support for third-party libraries like PyDAQmx or similar on macOS?
3. Feature Parity and Performance:
Do all features of the USB-1208HS-4AO DAQ work on macOS as they do on Windows?
Is the buffering and data acquisition speed the same as when using it on Windows with NI LabVIEW or MATLAB?
Can I expect the same buffering capabilities and data throughput on macOS as on Windows?
4. Alternative Solutions:
If the USB-1208HS-4AO DAQ is not fully compatible, are there alternative DAQs that offer similar functionality with better macOS support?
I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share, so far we are using NI DAQ systems through Windows and Matlab.
Thank you!
