egauge.pyside.terminal Support

To use module egauge.pyside.terminal, be sure to install the package with the pyside extra dependencies:

pip install egauge-python[pyside]

Example Programs

Example programs can be found in the egauge.examples module. If you want to run these programs, ensure that all dependencies are installed by running the command:

pip install egauge-python[examples]

The following examples are available:

• test_capture: Illustrates the use of the egauge.webapi.device.Capture class to capture waveform data.

• test_ctid_decoder: Illustrates how the egauge.ctid.Decoder can be used to decode CTid information from a waveform.

• test_ctid: Illustrates how the egauge.webapi.device.CTidInfo class can be used to control a meter to scan CTid information from a sensor, make the sensor blink the indicator LED, and so on.

• test_local: Illustrates how the egauge.webapi.device.Local class can be used to fetch and display the locally acquired measurements of a meter.

• test_register: Illustrates how the egauge.webapi.device.Register class can be used to fetch and display the register data of a meter.

Before running these programs, set the following environment variables for your preferred test device:

• EGDEV: URL of the test device (e.g., "http://eGaugeXXXXX.local" or "http://eGaugeXXXX.d.egauge.net")
• EGUSR: Username to authenticate with (e.g., "owner")
• EGPWD: Password to authenticate with (e.g., "super-secret-pw")

For example, the test program that illustrates the use of the register data interface can be run with the command:

    python -m egauge.examples.test_register
