Allows to round a value to multiple of any given number, while managing floating point error.
Depends on the "nidaqmx-python" Python wrapper for using the NI-DAQmx API. For now tested only on a NI PCIe-6361... and also known to not work yet on older devices like the PCIe-6251. It supports all features needed for the SECOM and SPARC, with the exception of the counter detector. Tested succesfully on a real SEM. It is possible to test it on a computer without an actual card by using the NI-DAQmx with a simulated DAQ card. Instructions are in the top comment of semnidaq.py . Also introduces two microscope files: one to use a real DAQ board, only, and one to simulate a SPARC using a simulated NI DAQ board.A
