        About

        =====

        The **mcculw** package contains an API (Application Programming Interface) for interacting with the

        I/O Library for Measurement Computing Data Acquisition products, Universal Library. This package

        was created and is supported by MCC. The package is implemented in Python as a wrapper around the

        Universal Library C API using the `ctypes <https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html>`_ Python

        Library. 

        

        **mcculw** is supported for Universal Library 6.55 and later. Some functions in the **mcculw**

        package may be unavailable with earlier versions of Universal Library. Visit

        `http://www.mccdaq.com/Software-Downloads.aspx <http://www.mccdaq.com/Software-Downloads.aspx>`_ to

        upgrade your version of UL. 

        

        **mcculw** supports only the Windows operating system.

        

        **mcculw** supports CPython 2.7 and 3.4+.

        

        The **mcculw** package is available on `GitHub <https://github.com/mccdaq/mcculw>`_ and

        `PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mcculw>`_.

        Usage

        =====

        The following is a basic example of using the Universal Library to perform analog input. Further

        examples may be found on `GitHub <https://github.com/mccdaq/mcculw>`_.

        

        .. code-block:: python

        

          from mcculw import ul

          from mcculw.enums import ULRange

          from mcculw.ul import ULError

        

          board_num = 0

          channel = 0

          ai_range = ULRange.BIP5VOLTS

        

          try:

              # Get a value from the device

              value = ul.a_in(board_num, channel, ai_range)

              # Convert the raw value to engineering units

              eng_units_value = ul.to_eng_units(board_num, ai_range, value)

        

              # Display the raw value

              print("Raw Value: " + str(value))

              # Display the engineering value

              print("Engineering Value: " + '{:.3f}'.format(eng_units_value))

          except ULError as e:

              # Display the error

              print("A UL error occurred. Code: " + str(e.errorcode)

                    + " Message: " + e.message)
