xtalx
=====
This package provides a library for interfacing with the XtalX pressure and
density/viscosity sensors.  Python version 3 is required.  The easiest way to
install the xtalx module is using pip::

    python3 -m pip install xtalx

Note that you may wish to use sudo to install xtalx for all users on your
system::

    sudo python3 -m pip install xtalx

You may also install the package from the source using::

    make install

or::

    sudo make install


xtalx_p_discover
================
The xtalx package includes the xtalx_p_discover binary which can be used to
list all XtalX pressure sensors that are attached to the system and their
corresponding firmware versions::

    ~$ xtalx_p_discover

xtalx_p_test
============
The xtalx package includes a simple test binary that will connect to an XtalX
pressure sensor and continuously print the current pressure and temperature
reading::

    ~$ xtalx_p_test

xtalx_z_discover
================
The xtalx packages includes the xtalx_z_discover binary which can be used to
list all XtalX density/viscosity sensors that are attached to the system and
their corresponding firmware version::

xtalx_z_get_info
================
The xtalx package includes the xtalx_z_get_info binary that can be used to get
a bit more detailed information about a sensor::

xtalx_z_gl_track_mode
=====================
The xtalx package includes the xtalx_z_gl_track_mode binary that is the core
tool for use with the density/viscosity sensor.  It features a GUI instead of
command-line output.  To execute it::

    ~% xtalx_z_gl_track_mode


xtalx_z_cli_track_mode
======================
The xtalx package includes the xtalx_z_cli_track_mode binary that is similar
to the GUI track mode tool but only prints log messages to the console and
write measurements to the .csv files.  This allows it to be run on a headless
system.  To execute it::

    ~% xtalx_z_cli_track_mode


Windows use
===========
On Windows, the binaries are all launched via the command line just like on
Linux and macOS, however Windows can't automatically find them.  In order to
launch them, you need to execute them using their full Python path as follows::

    python3 -m xtalx.tools.p_sensor.discover
    python3 -m xtalx.tools.p_sensor.xtalx_test_yield
    python3 -m xtalx.tools.z_sensor.discover
    python3 -m xtalx.tools.z_sensor.get_info
    python3 -m xtalx.tools.z_sensor.gl_track_mode

On Windows, it is also common to have the Python interpreter installed under
the name "py" or "py3", so if "python3" does not work for you it is recommended
to try one of the shorter command names.  If the Python interpreter cannot be
found, it may not be installed at all so should be installed via the Microsoft
Store (it is a free, open-source install).
