| Measurement Computing | {py:class}`USB-series <instro.daq.drivers.mcc.mccdaq.MCCDriver>` | {pysummary}`instro.daq.drivers.mcc.mccdaq.MCCDriver` |

<!-- The vendor table is laid out by hand for its Vendor/Model columns; its
descriptions still come from the docstrings via {pysummary}. autosummary needs to
see these classes to generate their pages, and it scans source text, so a
never-built `only` block is enough. Sphinx collects toctrees inside `only`
regardless, so the pages still appear in the sidebar. -->
