Environment

List of dependencies for package to run.

Required

• python modules, installed via pip install hardware_tools
  • numpy
  • pyvisa
  • cython
  • colorama
  • matplotlib
  • scipy
  • sklean
  • Pillow
  • scikit-image

Optional

• Test extensions, installed via pip install hardware_tools[test]
  • time-machine
  • hardware-tools

Virtual Environment

If using hardware-tools in a virtual environment, do not place it within this repo directory. Set it outside due to an issue compiling the extensions with cython since it tries to compile the code inside the virtual environment as well.

mkdir workspace-hardware-tools
cd workspace-hardware-tools
python -m venv .
source ./Scripts/activate # or .\Scripts\activate.bat
git clone https://github.com/WattsUp/hardware-tools
cd hardware-tools
python -m pip install .

Installation / Build / Deployment

# To install latest stable version on PyPi, execute:
python -m pip install hardware_tools

# To install from source, execute:
git clone https://github.com/WattsUp/hardware-tools
cd hardware-tools
python -m pip install .

# For development, install as a link to repository such that code changes are used. And include testing packages
git clone https://github.com/WattsUp/hardware-tools
cd hardware-tools
python -m pip install -e .[test]

Running Tests

Make sure to install package with testing extension

# To run the automated tests, execute:
python -m tests discover -s tests -t . --locals

# To save the results to file, execute:
python -m tests discover -s tests -t . --locals &> testing.log

## The following is a synopsis of unittest main arguments ##
# To run a singular test file, execute:
python -m tests $path_to_test_file
python -m tests tests.measurement.test_mask

# To run a singular test class, execute:
python -m tests $path_to_test_file.$class
python -m tests tests.measurement.test_mask.TestMaskDecagon

# To run a singular test method, execute:
python -m tests $path_to_test_file.$class.$method
python -m tests tests.measurement.test_mask.TestMaskDecagon.test_init

# Multiple can be strung together
python -m tests tests.measurement.test_mask tests.test_math

# To run coverage and print the report with missing lines, execute:
python -m coverage run && python -m coverage report -m

# To run profiler, execute:
python -m cProfile -s tottime -m tests discover -s tests -t . > profile.log

# To run linting, execute:
python -m pylint hardware_tools tests tools setup.py

hardware-tools's Issues

MSO64 Occasionally Omits CURVE

During a WAVFRM? transfer, every so often only the WFMOUTPRE? is transferred. Maybe separate WFMOUTPRE? and CURVE?

Conflicting numpy versions when upgrading from whl

Provide a fixed minimum version for numpy such that pip also upgrades numpy

equipment.tektronix.common.parse_wfm actually parses ISF files not WFM

ISF is the output when the scope is queried with WAVFRM?
WFM is a different format, see manual: https://download.tek.com/manual/Waveform-File-Format-Manual-077022011.pdf
