What is DAQiFi Core?

DAQiFi builds wireless data acquisition hardware designed to get out of the way so you can focus on the data, not the collection process.

DAQiFi Core is how you integrate that hardware into your own .NET applications — custom dashboards, automated test rigs, research pipelines, production-monitoring tools. Discover devices, connect over WiFi or USB, stream samples in real time, configure networks, push firmware updates — all from one async, strongly-typed .NET API.

Prefer a ready-made GUI? Check out DAQiFi Desktop, which is built on top of this library.

Want to drive a device from an AI assistant? The repo also ships an MCP server — point Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP-aware client at it to discover, configure channels, drive digital I/O, PWM and analog outputs, set the sample rate, and run SD-card logging — then list, download, and CSV the recorded data back — through plain conversation.

dotnet add package Daqifi.Core

using Daqifi.Core.Device;
using Daqifi.Core.Channel;

// Connect — transport and device initialization handled for you.
await using var device = await DaqifiDeviceFactory.ConnectTcpAsync("192.168.1.100", 9760);

// Subscribe to decoded, per-channel samples
var ai0 = device.GetChannelsSnapshot().First(c => c.Type == ChannelType.Analog && c.ChannelNumber == 0);
ai0.SampleReceived += (_, e) => Console.WriteLine($"{e.Sample.Timestamp}: {e.Sample.Value} V");

// Enable channel 0, then stream at 100 Hz
device.EnableChannel(ai0);
device.StreamingFrequency = 100;
device.StartStreaming();

A real, working program — no GUI required. Prefer the raw protobuf frame instead? Subscribe to device.MessageReceived — see Streaming Data.

Common applications

DAQiFi hardware is in the field for work like:

• Research labs — moon regolith testing and similar materials studies
• Medical R&D — prosthetic socket pressure testing
• Industrial monitoring — wireless multi-channel sensing
• Engineering education — SCPI command structure and LabVIEW compatibility
• Test automation — scripted benchtop measurements
