DAQview

It connects to a DAQd server which can stream it live data from a DAQ system, or make a list of historic datasets available for download and viewing.

Written in Python using PyQt5 and pyqtgraph.

Installation

The recommended way to install is to use pipx to install from the published version on PyPI:

pipx install daqview

To run after installation:

daqview

Development Environment

First ensure poetry is installed:

pip install --user poetry

Then you should be able to install all dependencies using:

poetry install

Run using:

poetry run python -m daqview

Run tests with:

poetry run pytest

Run linters with:

poetry run flake8 daqview
poetry run pylint --rcfile=pylint.rc daqview

Generally flake8 should always pass cleanly, while pylint is much harsher and its output should be checked over for any useful suggestions.

Release

When ready to cut a release, ensure daqview/__init__.py has the correct version number at the top, and then make a commit to master. Tag the commit with release-VERSION, e.g. release-0.1.0, and push the commit and the tag to GitLab, which will trigger a release build.
