Introduction

1. Introduction

The Python Wrapper provides a Python interface to use EC-Master, EC-Monitor, EC-Simulator and RAS Client/Server.

1.1. Requirements

Python v3.7 and above

  • Python Pause. Required for ticked timing with pause.until(…) to lower JobTask’s drift, e.g. for Distributed Clocks

    $ pip install pause

  • PyQt5 (v5.15.1). Only required to run the GUI demo

    $ pip install pyqt5
Windows (x86/x64)

  • Microsoft Windows 7 and above

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime

Linux (x86/x64/ARM)

  • Ubuntu 12.04 and above

1.2. Architecture

Python programming interface layer model

The architecture contains 4 basic layers:

Customer Python Script or our examples (EcMasterDemoPython, …)

  • Demo application, written in Python

Programming Interface (EcWrapperPython)

  • Provides an object oriented API written in Python

Wrapper Library (EcWrapper)

  • Native wrapper library, which provides API for object oriented access

Native Libraries

  • EC-Master Library

  • EC-Monitor LIbrary

  • EC-Simulator Library

  • RAS Client Library
