UliEngineering 1.1.3

Computational tools for electronics engineering

UliEngineering

A Python3 library for: - Data science - Electronics Engineering - Specialized algorithms - Physics which contains a collection of functions I haven't found elsewhere. Some algorithms have also been accepted on my blog https://techoverflow.net/

Pull requests and bugreports of any kind are happily accepted.

Installation

Run this command on your favourite shell:

sudo pip3 install UliEngineering

In order to install the latest bleeding-edge version, use:

sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/ulikoehler/UliEngineering.git

We highly recommend you also install scipy:

sudo pip3 install scipy

(you can also use sudo apt install python3-scipy on Debian-based Linux distros).

While scipy is technically optional and listed as an optional dependency, many UliEngineering modules can't be used without it, including (might not be complete!):

• UliEngineering.Length
• UliEngineering.SignalProcessing.Interpolation
• UliEngineering.SignalProcessing.Correlation
• UliEngineering.Physics.JohnsonNyquistNoise
• Some functions in UliEngineering.SignalProcessing.Simulation
• Some functions in UliEngineering.SignalProcessing.Selection

After that you can use UliEngineering from any Python3 instance. Example:

$ python3
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23) 
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from UliEngineering.EngineerIO import *
>>> format_value(0.015, "V")
'15.0 mV'
