This code was developed to acquire data from the Yokogawa Darwin Series DAQ Unit DA100. It sets up a TCP socket with the Yokogawa DA100 Main Unit, starts the acquisition with a bytecode command, and then reads out and decodes the binary streams with a predefined frequency. The data is saved to a csv file or can be directly send to an existing InfluxDB databases.
It aims to help researches at the Research Institute IBK at ETH Zurich to conduct large scale monitoring projects. The configuration of the project can be individually adjusted to the needs of the experiment.
The DAQ is written almost enitrely using the python3 standard library (except for a few packages used for the IndluxDB database). Install python3 through the package manager or by visiting: https://www.python.org/downloads/.
Please note that while the DAQ should be compatible with all systems, it has only been tested on Linux and Windows.
This manual should help you
- configure the machine using the DAQ32 Software-
- explain step by step how to create a project and save the project settings for future reference
- guide you through the usage of the User Interface as well as all additional features
- setup a functional working environment in InfluxDB database/Grafana.
The DAQ can be run from the command line by
python3 yokodaq.pyor by clicking on the application file in case it is installed.
