Using 8451 USB-SPI interface from Python

[AJ3D]

Is there a way to talk to the NI-8451 USB-to-SPI interface from Python using a Python package such as PyVISA ?

USB-8451 is not a VISA device and requires NI 845x drivers to control the device.

There is no official direct support for 845x in Python as per this NI article - https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000001DbtrSAC&l=en-US

But, you can the 845x C dll in Python to use and looks like some folks have even shared it on Git for public use.

Thanks, I will take a look at the accessing the DLL approach.
