Communication tools for Campbell CR1000-type Dataloggers

PyCampbellCR1000 is a python project which aims to allow the communication with Campbell CR1000 Type Datalogger

The main features include automatic collecting of data and settings (read only) as a list of dictionnaries.

The tool can be used in your python scripts for data post-processing, or in command line mode to collect data as CSV.

We don’t update anything from PyCampbellCR1000 besides time, because we are assuming that the dataloggers are already configured.

Note: PyCampbellCR1000 uses the PyLink lib, offers a universal communication interface with File-Like API.

Examples

We init communication by giving the datalogger URL.

>>> from pycampbellcr1000 import CR1000
>>> device = CR1000.from_url('tcp:host-ip:port')
>>> # or with Serial connection
>>> device = CR1000.from_url('serial:/dev/ttyUSB0:38400')

To get time, use:

>>> device.gettime()
datetime.datetime(2012, 7, 16, 12, 27, 55)

To get data, you have to enter the table name where it is stored. If you don’t know the table name, you cannot collect the list of available tables in the datalogger.

>>> device.list_tables()
['Status', 'Table1', 'Public']

Choose the time period to get your data from start date to stop date.

>>> import datetime
>>> start = datetime.datetime(2012, 7, 16, 11, 0, 0)
>>> stop = datetime.datetime(2012, 7, 16, 12, 0, 0)
>>> data = device.get_data('Table1', start, stop)
>>> data[0]["Datetime"]
datetime.datetime(2012, 7, 16, 11, 0)

>>> data[0]["CurSensor1_mVolt_Avg"]
2508.0

>>> print(data.filter(('Datetime', 'CurSensor3_mAmp_Avg')).to_csv())
Datetime,CurSensor3_mAmp_Avg
2012-07-16 11:00:00,18.7
2012-07-16 11:01:00,18.48
...
2012-07-16 11:59:00,17.25
