/uplt-labview

A uniplot parser for LabVIEW files.

Primary LanguagePython

LabVIEW for uniplot!

This plugin allows uniplot to parse and plot the various data files used by LabVIEW.

Note

Currently only LabVIEW Measurement (.lvm) files are supported but there are plans to support .tdm and .tdms files aswell.

Installation

This plugin is available on PyPI so installation is as simple as:

$ pip install uplt-labview

If you want the most up-to-date version then clone the repo and act thusly:

$ git clone https://github.com/Sean1708/uplt-labview.git
$ cd uplt-labview
$ pip install .

Usage

uniplot should automatically discover correctly formatted LabVIEW Measurement files by examining the first line of the file for LabVIEW Measurement so using it should be as simple as:

$ uniplot labview_data.lvm

If uniplot gets it wrong for whatever reason then you can force selection like so:

$ uniplot -p lvm labview_data.lvm

If uniplot gets it wrong and you don't know why, please consider opening an issue on the repo.

If X_Columns is One or Multi uniplot will plot each channel against it's corresponding X_Value column. If X_Columns is No then there must be an even number of columns and uniplot will plot every second column against the column on it's left-hand side.
