TTL controlled Filter wheel using NI DAQ #903

Closed SJShep closed 3 months ago

SJShep commented 3 months ago

Added a NI DAQ filter wheel class that works with the NI DAQ class. There is an additional function in ni_daq.py to send a single digital pulse. We create the connection in microscope.py under shared devices. In device_startup_functions.py we included the new filter wheel class and also rearranged device loading to load the DAQ before loading filter wheels.

Configuration snippit: 

filter_wheel:
      hardware:
        name: filter_wheel
        type: NI  
        wheel_number: 1
      filter_wheel_delay: 0.050 # in seconds
      available_filters:
        473nm: Dev2/port0/line1
        561nm: Dev2/port0/line3
        638nm: Dev2/port0/line5
        Empty: Dev2/port0/line7
