Connect your Digital Multimeter Uni-T UT61E with Python!
Project description
Tools which ut61e_python provides
es51922.py – Interprets the output of the ES51922 chip
This utility interprets data sent by the Cyrustek ES51922 chip. It reads lines from stdin, tries to interpret them as messages from the chip and prints basic information on the stdout. In addition it writes a CSV file with a lot more information to the working directory.
he2325u_hidapi.py – Reads from the USB/HID adapter cable using HIDAPI
This tool tries to read from the adapter cable using the HID API provided by the operating system. It relies on cython-hidapi.
This tool prints its output to stdout so that you can directly pipe it into ./es51922.py. Works on Linux and Mac OS X (Windows not tested) without root access. On Linux you may have to create a udev rule in order to get access to the /dev/hidrawX device as a regular user.
he2325u_pyusb.py – Reads from the USB/HID adapter cable using PyUSB
This tool is very much similar to he2325u_hidapi.py as it also allows to read from the USB/HID adapter cable. It also prints its output to stdout. It uses PyUSB instead of HIDAPI which in turn uses direct libusb calls to talk to the adapter. Needs to be run as root. Works on Linux only.
Usage
To read data from the USB/HID adapter cable and interpret it as Cyrustek ES51922 information, you can do:
./he2325u_hidapi.py | ./es51922.py
Requirements
This software is written in Python, so you obviously need this to run it. Python2 and Python3 should both work.
To analyze output using es51922.py you don’t need any other modules.
If you want to run he2325u_hidapi.py, you need cython-hidapi.
If you want to run he2325u_pyusb.py, you need PyUSB.
