3flex

=====

Raw TCP/IP driver and command line tool for [Micromeritics 3Flex surface characterization analyzers](http://www.micromeritics.com/Product-Showcase/3Flex-Surface-Characterization-Analyzer.aspx).



  



This is a read-only driver, as there is currently no support for

programmatically controlling the 3Flex.

Installation

============

```

pip install threeflex

```

If you don't like pip, you can also install from source:

```

git clone https://github.com/numat/threeflex.git

cd threeflex

python setup.py install

```

Usage

=====

### Command Line

For basic tasks, this driver includes a command-line interface. This command

will output either a JSON representation of the current state, or a raw stream

of tab-separated values with the `--stream` flag. Read the help for more.

```

threeflex --help

```

### Python

For more complex projects, use python to automate your workflow.

```python

from threeflex import Analyzer

analyzer = Analyzer("192.168.77.100")

print(analyzer.get())

```

If the analyzer is currently running, this should return an object of the form:

```python
