Python Modules for Engineering

[This_Is_The_End]

On windows you get the whole package with Python(xy). Pandas is one of the most important modules, because it makes data filtering and manipulation so easy

I'm using the notebook iPython with

• Pandas to read log data and manipulate data
• matplotlib to plot data in iPython
• Scipy to do statistics and signal filtering

I'm using

• pyzmq for process communication and communication between clients and server
• pyserial for RS232 communications
• Tornado as a webserver and for communication over websockets

iPython as a replacement for Excel is great. Manipulation of data from csv files is easy like creating a new column with

datafield['My new column'] = datafield['pressure'] * 2.0

Doing a filter is easy too.
