How to store a_in_scan data; USB-1808x

[Charlie2134]

Hello, i am trying to store the analog input data for further analysis. I know this should be very easy but i am a noob at programming. how can i modify the a_in_scan.py function a little bit to store the data into a file?

thanks in advance.

I recommend reviewing the Python for Windows example called a_in_scan_file.py. 

https://github.com/mccdaq/mcculw/blob/master/examples/console/a_in_scan_file.py

Pay attention to the additional scan option ScaledData. It instructs the API to return floating point numbers instead of counts from the A/D converter.

Thank you! I am using python for Linux but it should be similar.
