ivm 1.1.2

IVM

This is a python binding for IVM cross-platform library for EyePoint Signature Analyzers.

Installation

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install ivm

python3 instead of python should be used on some linux distributions.

Minimal example

from ivm import IvmDeviceHandle
from math import ceil
import time

# Useful constants
MEASUREMENT_COMPLETE = IvmDeviceHandle.CheckMeasurementStatusResponse.ReadyStatus.MEASUREMENT_COMPLETE
FRAME_SIZE = IvmDeviceHandle.GetMeasurementRequest.FrameNumber.FRAME_SIZE

# Set correct device URI here
# Format for Windows: com:\\.\COM1
# Format for Linux: com:///dev/ttyACM0
# Format for MacOS: com:///dev/tty.usbmodem000001234
device_uri = r'com:\\.\COM4'

try:
    device = IvmDeviceHandle(device_uri)
    print("Device opened")
    print("Read device information... ", end="")

    print("Done")
