+my conclusion was that we should replace everything in the Igor XOP with python code running the trigger loop in a python subprocess that calls the AIOUSB DLL via ctypes. AccesIO provide a sample python ctypes wrapper https://accesio.com/files/AIOUSB.py to talk to their compiled Windows AIOUSB.dll.

+* There is some further driver info and source code here https://github.com/accesio/AIOUSB but this is to provide a unix-compatible version of their windows library so I don't think it's relevant.
