[itom-discussions] Some early thoughts about continuous analog input implementation

[dan n. <dne...@ya...>]

Hi Marc,
I am starting to think about how to implement continuous analog input. I think one point you have raised is how to signal the beginning of the input and the end of it. It would be possible to use acquire() to start the input and stopDevice() to end it, but that has the feeling of a hack (overloading existing functions to do something else). Another possibility would be to add startChannel() and stopChannel() methods to the plugin. Is there a way to add plugin specific method calls so they have python wrappers? Are there any other plugins doing this (if so, would you point me to them so I can take a look at the code)?
Cheers,
Dan
