sciopy 0.6.4

Python based interface module for serial communication with the ScioSpec Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) device.

This package offers the serial interface for communication with an EIT device from ScioSpec. Commands can be written serially and the system response can be read out. With the current version, it is possible to start and stop measurements with defined burst counts and to read out the measurement data. In addition, the measurement data is packed into a data class for better further processing.

Install Requirements

All requirements are provided inside the requirements.txt. To install them navigate inside the sciopy directory and type:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt # Linux, macOS, Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt  # Windows

Run Example Script

For a single measurement, you can simply run the measurement.py script using the command:

python measurement.py

This script establishes a serial connection to the ScioSpec device, sends the measurement configuration, and starts a measurement with a burst count of 10. For a successful measurement, you have to plug in the 16 electrodes to the port "channel 1-16" at the ScioSpec device. For saving the data, set save = True and insert a valid s_path to the scio_spec_measurement_config at the beginning of the script.

The second provided example script prep_data_for_ml.py can be used for the conversion of a finished measurement. This script creates a new folder with the ending _prepared and puts together the potential values and object positions for all measurements. This could be useful for later application of machine learning.

TBD

• Measurement using 32 electrodes.
• Parsing measurements of 32 electrodes.
• Adjacent and opposite drive patterns for 32 electrodes.
