Description: # DataLog: a library for interacting with PicoLog hardware
        This is a Python library to interface with [PicoLog ADC hardware](https://www.picotech.com/data-logger/adc-20-adc-24/precision-data-acquisition).
        It provides a Python class to interact with the `ADC24`, and data structures
        to represent its outputs. The `ADC24` is implemented, but the library is
        designed to be easily extended for other PicoLog (and potentially non-PicoLog)
        hardware. It may work with the `ADC20` without modification, but this is not
        tested.
        
        ## Prerequisites
        The following requirements must be met before `DataLog` is installed:
          * Python 3.5+
          * PicoLog ADC 20/24 hardware and driver (`libpicohrdl`)
        
        The PicoLog ADC driver can be obtained from
        [PicoTech](https://www.picotech.com/downloads/) and must be installed and
        working before using this library.
        
        ## Installation
        Installation is handled by `setup.py`. This is most easily handled by `pip`:
        ```bash
        pip3 install datalog
        ```
        This installs the Python package dependencies automatically. If the above command doesn't make sense, try reading
        [this introduction to pip](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/).
        
        ## Use
        The documentation should help to get you started. Compile it with:
        ```bash
        cd doc
        make html
        ```
        The main functionality is implemented in `datalog/adc/hrdl/picolog.py` and this
        class can be used on its own.
        
        ### Site-specific use
        We use this library at the [University of Glasgow observatory](http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/observatory/weather/Observatory_weather/Observatory_weather.htm)
        for our magnetometer. We have to calibrate the raw counts coming from the
        PicoLog unit, as well as upload this data to our FTP server. The set of scripts
        we use can be found [here](https://github.com/acrerd/magnetometer).
