WaveForms Toolkit v2

Summary

This is a plotting kit for using Analog Discovery 2 for the courses ESDA I and ESDA II for MTELSYS at NTNU, Trondheim.

Prerequirements

• Python 2 or 3
• tkinter

Quick Start

1. Download the intended asset underneath Releases.
2. Navigate to the downloaded folder with terminal or finder / explorer.
3. Run the python script i.e. with python3 main.py.

Features

Autodetection of Plot Types

If the name of your CSV data file contains the name of your defined plot types, the program will automatically select til plot type, so there is no need for manual input in the terminal.

Out-of-the-box detection keywords:

• Scope
• Bode
• Spectrum

Checking for missing configurations

If a plot is missing important values in its configuration, the program will prompt the user for input. As of now, this check is only limited to plot legends and legend position. However updates to this feature may follow in the near future.

Usage

Adding New Plot Types

1. Create plot script in the plots/ folder.
2. Create relevant config options for the new plot in the config variable in conf/config.py.
3. Add the plot to the function mapping in handlers/plothandler.py

Configuration

Set prefered file paths

Change the global variables in conf/globals.py to the default filepaths you want the file selector should open in. You can also set your prefered filetype for storing plots, but .svg is strongly recommended.

Enable Plot Autosave

To enable automatic plot saving, change the autoSave variable in conf/config.py

'autoSave': True

Logarithmix Scale of X Axis

To enable logarithmic scaling, change the logarithmicAxisX variable in conf/config.py

'logarithmicAxisX': True

Change Config Variables For Plot Type

Change variables in conf/config.py to match the data from your plot.
