pyMetrohmAUTOLAB 0.0.4

A tool to using Metrohm AUTOLAB SDK in Python(it is still under heavily developed)

Metrohm AUTOLAB control package

This is a unofficial control package to Metrohm-AUTOALB. This package contains a main pacakge named AUTOALB()

class structure and implemented functions:

class AUTOLAB():
    
    def __init__(self,
                 sdk=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\EcoChemie.Autolab.Sdk",
                 adx=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\Adk.x"):
 
    def disconnectAutolab(self):
    def setSDKandADX(self,sdk,adx):
 
    def isMeasuring(self):
    def connectToAutolab(self,
                         hdw=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\PGSTAT302N\HardwareSetup.FRA32M.xml"):
    def measure(self,procedure):
    def save(self):
    def saveAs(self,saveName):
        
    def setCellOn(self,On=True):
    def setMode(self,Mode='Potentialstatic'):   
    def setPotential(self,potential):   
    def setCurrentRange(self,EstimateCurrentInAmpere = 1E-6):
    def wait(self,QuietTime=5):

how to use it:

• Step 0, install the requirement softerware,

  pip install pythonnet
  pip install pyMetrohmAUTOLAB
  

  And AUTOALB SDK v1.11 You can download it here

• Step 1, import this package

  import Metrohm.AUTOLAB as EC
  

• Step 2, tell Python where your instrument located

  # tell the codes where your SDK install first
  hdw=R'C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\PGSTAT302N\HardwareSetup.FRA32M.xml',
  sdk=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\EcoChemie.Autolab.Sdk"
  adx=R"C:\Program Files\Metrohm Autolab\autolabsdk\Hardware Setup Files\Adk.x"
  

• Setp 3, initialise the AUTOLAB class(C's bad habbit)

  # initializing the class first
  autolab = EC.AUTOLAB(sdk=sdk,adx=adx)
  
  autolab.CMD = True # optional: Enable CMDLOG or not, it's good if you want to trace the code
  

• Step 4, Have fun with it

  try:
      if autolab.connectToAutolab(hdw): # first we need to connect to our instrument
          print("Connecting to AUTOLAB successfully....")
          # do measurement
          autolab.measure(R"*.nox file path") # it will take times till measrement finish
          autolab.saveAs(R"save file name")
          `
  except:
      print("Connecting to AUTOLAB FAIL....")
      return
  

• Optional Step 5, delete the instance

  It is a good habit, but not always necessary.

  # it is a good habit to del the instance after script
  del autolab
