Documentation for the Lablink CSV client¶
This package provides a Lablink client that acts as a data source, using data stored in CSV format. Each data entry from a CSV source will be sent as an individual output (referred to as as “measurement”). The CSV client supports two different modes for dispatching CSV data as measurements:
Fixed interval data source: The data from the columns of the CSV source are sent one after the other as individual measurements. The time between two consecutive measurements is constant (but configurable for each CSV column). The CSV source itself does not contain any timing information, but only the data values.
Timed data source: The data from the CSV source uses a dedicated format (see here), providing data values associated to timestamps, which are sent one-by-one as individual measurements. The timing of the measurements is determined by the timestamps associated to each data value.
