PyCEV

Python interpreter for SEL (Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories) CEV (Compressed EVent record) files.

NOTE: This project is in VERY early stages of development and is nowhere near completion.

Description:

This project, pycev, is intended to provide a means to interpret and interact with SEL CEV files for scientific analysis using common Python tools such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and others. This package provides a parser and manager system to load and interact with SEL Compressed Event files. Potential avenues to explore for future development include a COMTRADE conversion tool to allow CEV to COMTRADE conversions, or to write CEV files from raw data.

Installation:

From PyPI as a Python Package

This information is yet to come, as pycev has yet to be published to PyPI at this time.

From GitHub as a Python Package

To install pycev from GitHub:

1. Download the repository as a zipped package.
2. Unzip the repository.
3. Open a terminal (command-prompt) and navigate to the new folder that's been unzipped. (Hint: Use cd <the-path-to-the-folder-you-unzipped-in>/pycev)
4. Use pip or python to install with the following commands, respectively:
   • $> pip install .
   • $> python setup.py install
5. Verify that it's been installed by opening a Python instance and importing: >>> import pycev If no errors arise, the package has been installed.

From GitHub as a Standalone File

If you wish to use pycev as a standalone file in your Python project, you can simply download the pycev.py file from GitHub (you'll want this file exactly) and save it wherever you need it! Then, just import pycev and away you go!
