Requirements

LabJackPython requires Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.x. For Python 3.x, most functionality has been tested but not all yet. Please report bugs to support@labjack.com or on GitHub:

https://github.com/labjack/LabJackPython

To use Modbus first check that your LabJack device meets the minimum required firmware version listed on this page:

https://labjack.com/support/software/api/modbus/ud-modbus

To upgrade firmware look at this page:

https://labjack.com/support/firmware

To use Modbus on a UE9 over Ethernet, install Comm firmware 1.50 or higher.

Install:

To install for a user

$ python -m pip install --user --upgrade sti-LabjackPython

To install systemwide (not recommended)

$ python -m pip install --upgrade sti-LabjackPython

If there are multiple versions Python installed, run the install command with the Python version you want to install to. For example, on Linux if both Python 2.7 and 3.5 are installed, you can install to Python 3.5 with:

$ python3.5 -m pip install sti-LabjackPython

Run

From there, interacting with your devices is easy.

For U3:

>>> import u3
>>> d = u3.U3()
>>> d.configU3()
{'BootloaderVersion': '0.27',
 'CIODirection': 0,
 ...,
}
>>> d.close()

For U6:

>>> import u6
>>> d = u6.U6()
>>> d.configU6()
{'BootloaderVersion': '6.15',
 'FirmwareVersion': '0.88',
 ...,
}
>>> d.close()

For UE9:

>>> import ue9
>>> d = ue9.UE9()
>>> d.commConfig()
{'IPAddress' : '192.168.1.209'
 ...,
}
>>> d.close()

For U12:

>>> import u12
>>> d = u12.U12()
>>> d.eAnalogIn(0)
{'overVoltage': 0,
 'idnum': 0,
 'voltage': 1.42578125
}
>>> d.close()
