pycotech 0.2.0

📑 Welcome to Pycotech!
pycotech offers tools and wrappers to interface with PT-104 PicoLog® Data Loggers and files, allowing you to easily build an end-to-end data processing pipeline in pure python.
This work would not have been possible without Martin Schröder's
amazing wrapper around the usbpt104 C library for the Pico PT-104A RTD Data Acquisition Module. Don't hesitate to head over to his
PT_104 Github repo to check out the original project and to drop a star! 🌟
🔥 Features
pycotech's suite of utility functions provides seamless integration
of .PLW and .TXT files generated by traditional PicoTechnology®
software - allowing you to handle, visualise, and convert between
data-formats at will.
Pycotech also provides python command line alternatives to most of
the principal PicoLog® software components. Namely, pycotech's
plw-recorder allows you to bypass the PLW Recorder® data acquisition
software and gather data directly from a number of PT-104 Data
Loggers. Pycotech's plw-player substitutes instead the PicoLog®
Player software, allowing you to read, convert, and extract data from
existing .PLW files.

🚀 Quick Start


📚 Install pycotech like any other python package, using pip to download it from PyPI:

python -m pip install pycotech




🐍 Now test your installation running the following minimal script:

import pycotech

df = pycotech.utils.read_plw("my_plw_file.PLW")

print(df)




🎉 If everything went well you should now be properly set-up to use
pycotech! Enjoy!


📟 CLI Tools
To use pycotech's command line tools, install pycotech as
described above and then run any of the following:


plw-player: converts .PLW files to .TXT

plw-player -plw "my_plw_file.PLW"



usage: plw-player [-h] -plw PLW [-txt TXT]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-plw PLW input .PLW file
-txt TXT output .TXT file




plw-recorder: continuous data acquisition from connected PT-104 Loggers:

plw-recorder



usage: plw-recorder [-h] [-dir DIR] [-r R]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-dir DIR output logs directory
-r R logging rate (hours)
