WaveLine

Documentation · Examples

Python library to easily interface with Vallen Systeme WaveLine™ devices using the public APIs:

• linWave (prior names: conditionWave, FyrSonic)
• spotWave

Getting started

Install the latest version from PyPI:

$ pip install waveline

Run examples:

$ python examples/linwave_ae.py  # if you have a linWave device
$ python examples/spotwave_ae.py  # if you have a spotWave device

Explore further examples and have a look at the documentation.

Development setup

After cloning the repository, you can easily install the development environment and tools (pylint, mypy, pytest, tox) with. Using a virtual environment is strongly recommended.

$ git clone https://github.com/vallen-systems/waveline.git
$ cd waveline

# Create virtual environment in directory .venv
$ python -m venv .venv
# Activate virtual environment
$ source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux
$ .venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows

# Install package (editable) and all development tools
$ pip install -e .[dev]

# Run formatter
$ ruff format .

# Run linter
$ ruff check .

# Run the test suite in the current environment
$ pytest

# Run the CI pipeline (checks and tests) for all targeted (and installed) Python versions with tox
$ tox

# Build the documentation
$ cd docs
$ make html  # Linux
$ .\make.bat html  # Windows

Run system tests

System level tests are only available, if the targeted device can be discovered.

Run system tests with a spotWave device:

$ pytest tests/system/spotwave --duration-acq 1

Measurement durations for long-term acquisition tests can be specified with the --duration-acq parameter (default: 1 second).

Run system tests with a linWave device (a specific IP can be provided with the --linwave-ip argument, otherwise the first discovered device will be used):

$ pytest tests/system/linwave --duration-acq 1 --linwave-ip 192.168.0.100
