AquiLab

A simple wrapper for LabJack devices which brings high level arduino-like functions to the device.

Prerequisites

A python environment with LabJackPython.py, Modbus.py, and u3.py which can be found on LabJack's GitHub

Getting Started

Run LabJack.exe to install LabJack dependecies

Example Code

import time
from AquiLab import AquiLabs, AquiLab, AquiPin

myLabs = AquiLabs()  # create a new set of aquilabs
myLabs.openDevices()  # open all of the devices
myLabs.printDevicesSerialNumbers()  # print all of the serial numbers
# myLabs.setupDevices()  # use this to setup the defaults of devices in mass
# myLabs.resetDevices()  # use this to reset the defaults of devices in mass
myLabs.closeDevices()  # close all of the devices

myLab = AquiLab(320086141)  # create a single aquilab based on the serial numbers printed earlier
myLab.open()  # open that single aquilab

for i in range(5): # toggle aquilab indicator LED 5 times
   myLab.toggleLED()
   time.sleep(.5)

print(bin(int(myLab.getFIOState())))  # print current FIO pin states
print(bin(int(myLab.getEIOState())))  # print current EIO pin states

myPin = AquiPin(myLab, "FIO7")  # create a pin on FIO7

# The following four images will configure everything for you:
print(myPin.readDigital())  # digital read on myPin.
print(myPin.readAnalog())  # analog read on myPin.
myPin.setHigh()
myPin.setLow()

myPin2 = AquiPin(myLab, "DAC1")  # create a pin on DAC1

myPin2.setVoltage(1.5)  # set pin voltage to 1.5V
