Project description
Digital Multimeter
Digital Multimeter provides both a CLI and Python API interface to receive data from a variety of digital multimeters.
See the list of supported multimeters here.
Features
- Command line and Python module interface to digital multimeters
- Continuous live data readings (using
--count 0
) - Output in json or csv formats
- Output to console or file, allowing other tools to pickup and use the data
- Configuration via config-file or environment-variables
- Easy to expand for new digital-multimeter protocols
- Easy installation using PyPI
pip
- Documentation and examples at digital-multimeter.readthedocs.io
Installation
user@computer:~$ pip install [--upgrade] digital-multimeter
CLI Usage Example
Continuously read the digital-multimeter and pipe the JSON output through jq
to
make the JSON output look prettier.
user@computer:~$ dmm read --connect /dev/ttyUSB0 --count 0 | jq .
