Python drivers for interacting with a wuBase.
Begin by installing the required Python packages, followed by the package itself.
cd wuBase-python
pip install .
Some documentation will live here. STM32Tools contains a LOM interface script which makes signfiicant usage of this module, so look over there.
run_wub_daq.py is your go-to script (use the --help flag for information). It takes a configuration file (example given in config/cfg_test_data.cfg) which is a list of commands to execute before entering the batchmode reciever thread.
wubctl.py contains the main driver; instantiate it using
from pywub import wubctl
wub = wubctl.wuBaseCtl(device_port, baudrate)
Note the wuBase will operate in autobaud mode until told otherwise. This is handled seamlessly in the main DAQ script.
The driver implements a method factory to generate commands for sending to the wubase.
wubase_commands.txt contains a list of ASCII commands from which to generate the functions.
Each method is defined as cmd_<command name>, e.g. cmd_status(), cmd_getuid(), cmd_start_pulser().
Arguments can be passed to commands as strings or numbers:
wub.cmd_pulser_setup("1", "2000", "0.3")
wub.cmd_pulser_setup(1, 2000, 0.3)
Aborting a run in BINARY comms mode can be wonky if there are data in the buffer. As a result, the last frame captured may be incorrect.
