Python driver and command line tool for ToolWeb-enabled MKS eBaratron capacitance manometers.
pip install baratron
If you want to use the older python2/tornado implementation, use pip install baratron==0.1.2
.
To test your connection and stream real-time data, use the command-line interface. You can read the device with:
$ baratron 192.168.1.100
{
"drift": 0.00164,
"full-scale pressure": 1000.0,
"led color": "green",
"pressure": 3.78864,
"pressure units": "torr",
"run hours": 17517.763055555555,
"system status": "e-Baratron Zeroing Recommended",
"wait hours": 0.0
}
This uses Python ≥3.5's async/await syntax to asynchronously communicate with the device. For example:
import asyncio
import baratron
async def get():
async with baratron.CapacitanceManometer('the-baratron-ip-address') as sensor:
print(await sensor.get())
asyncio.run(get())
