dash-daq
DAQ components for Dash
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. dash_daq is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with minimal friction, and is permissively licensed. Install it if you are building a Dash application that needs instrumentation-style UI components for monitoring or controlling equipment; skip it if your dashboard uses only standard charts and tables.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low friction: single pure-Python dependency on dash, distributed as a wheel.
- Actively maintained with recent release (521 days ago) and ongoing commits.

What it is and what it does
dash_daq extends Dash with a library of specialized UI components designed for data acquisition and instrumentation interfaces. It provides gauge displays, sliders, knobs, and other controls styled to resemble laboratory and industrial equipment, making it straightforward to build web dashboards that monitor or control real-world systems.
The package depends only on dash and installs as a pure Python wheel with no compiled dependencies. It is actively maintained by Plotly and used in production demo applications ranging from multimeters to pressure gauges to stepper motor controllers. The component set is designed to integrate seamlessly into Dash applications, allowing developers to mix standard Dash components with specialized DAQ controls in a single callback-driven interface.
Use it for
- Build a web interface for laboratory equipment monitoring that displays real-time sensor readings using gauge and numeric display components.
- Create an industrial control dashboard where operators adjust setpoints and parameters using knobs, sliders, and toggle switches styled as physical instruments.
- Prototype a data acquisition system frontend that collects and visualizes measurements from multiple sensors in a single web application.
- Display live telemetry from scientific instruments (multimeters, oscilloscopes, pressure sensors) in a browser-based control room.
- Build a test automation UI where engineers configure test parameters and observe results using instrumentation-style components.
