Installation
------------

PyforeceDAQ depends on Python 3.12 or 3.13 (and is currently not compatible with later versions).

It is suggested to use a virtual environment with Python 3.13. The easiest way to do this to use UV. To install UV see https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

Install pyForceDAQ via UV:
``
uv tool install pyforcedaq --python 3.13 -U
``

* Under Windows: A complied version of `atidaq.dll` can be
 found in the `dll` subfolder of the Branch 'additional materials.  Make this library available by coping it in your ystem folder

To install pyForceDAQ from release-zipfile

1. Ensure that [Python 3.13](https://www.python.org/) is installed
2. Download and unpack zipfile file
3. run `install_dependencies.py`
4. run `forceDAQ_GUI.py`
5. edit settings via GUI if required
