Unfortunately, there is no readily available Python package for 568x devices.

 

This page lists the NI devices drivers that are currently available in Python - https://nimi-python.readthedocs.io/en/master/

 

Alternatively, you can install the NI 568x driver from https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-568x-driver-software.html#348951 and call the C-dll in Python.

 

Refer to this article on how to call C-dll in Python - https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/supplemental/16/python-resources-for-ni-hardware-and-...
