PdCommPy 0.0.1

Package for working with Nortek instruments.

A Python wrapper for Nortek’s PdCommATL COM library.

Installation

• Install Nortek’s PdCommATL library (contact Nortek to obtain the necessary installer).

• Run win32com’s makepy.py module (located, for example, at C:python27Libsite-packageswin32comclient), selecting “PdCommATL 1.0 Type Library (1.0)” from the list.

• Either run pip install pdcommpy, or git clone this repository, and inside run python setup.py install from a command prompt.

Usage

`python >>> from pdcommpy import PdControl >>> pdcontrol = PdControl() >>> pdcontrol.serial_port = "COM2" >>> pdcontrol.state 'Not connected' >>> pdcontrol.sample_rate = 200 >>> pdcontrol.coordinate_system 'ENU' `

Known issues

• Salinity in data files is indicated as “N/A”. According to Nortek, this should not affect the measurements.
