py_thorlabs_tsp

Low and high level python wrappers for Thorlabs TSP01B temperature and humidity sensor.

This is an unofficial package and is not supported by the vendor of equipment.

This package provides:

1. low-level functions, which are thin wrappers around the C-functions from the DLL distributed by Thorlabs;
2. high-level class for connecting to the sensor and getting temperature and humidity readout.

This package was tested on Windows only. Only TSP01 Rev.B sensor was tested.
