LabJackPython: Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) Python modules and
examples for the LabJack U3, U6, UE9 and U12.
05/26/2015
support@labjack.com
LabJackPython requires Python 2.6 or higher. Modules have been updated for
Python 3.x but not all functionality has been tested yet. Functionality used in
examples are tested. 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.
To install LabJackPython, run the following command in a terminal (remove "sudo"
on Windows):
$ sudo python setup.py install
From there, interacting with your devices is easy.

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

}
>>> d.close()
For U6:
>>> import u6
>>> d = u6.U6()
>>> d.configU6()

For UE9:
>>> import ue9

}
>>> d.close()
For U12:
>>> import u12
>>> d = u12.U12()
