    configure : 
      daq_name : Dev1  # NI DAQ Device Name
      signal_terminal : PFI0  # NI DAQ terminal connected to input digital TTL signal
      clock_terminal :    # Specifies the digital input terminal to the NI DAQ to use for a clock. If left blank, interprets as None or NULL
      clock_rate: 100000  # NI DAQ clock rate in Hz
      num_data_samples_per_batch : 1000
      read_write_timeout : 10  # timeout in seconds for read/write operations
      signal_counter : ctr2  # NI DAQ counter to use for counting the input signal, e.g. ctr0, ctr1, ctr2, or ctr3
# notes

# clock_rate:
#   Specifies the clock rate in Hz. If using an external clock,
#   you should specifiy the clock rate here so that the correct counts per
#   second are displayed. If using the internal NI DAQ clock (default behavior),
#   this value specifies the clock rate to use. Per the NI DAQ manual,
#   use a suitable clock rate for the device for best performance, which is an integer
#   multiple downsample of the digital sample clock.

# clock_terminal:
#   Specifies the digital input terminal to the NI DAQ to use for a clock.
#   If None, the internal NI DAQ clock is used. Otherwise, a string value
#   specifies the terminal to use for the clock.
