Description

In discussing another NI API, the idea of indexing calls besides configuration came up. I then was considering where it'd even make sense within DAQmx. Reading is one case.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing the task.in_stream configuration and reading APIs in the repository. Clarify which DAQmx reading cases should support indexing and define the expected behavior for task.in_stream["temp0:4"]. Done means the supported scope and acceptance criteria are agreed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
