Python program to plot Kiwi RX power on single frequencies or full sweeps

What it does

1. record.py receive power level from one or more Kiwis to multiple .csv files OR sweep over a defined freq range
2. plotcsv.py plot a simple graph from the recorded .csv to show received power vs time / received power vs frequency

Requirements
pip3 install pandas plotly ...maybe some more

You need to have kiwirecorder.py in the same directory (a symbolic link works fine!)

Usage Edit a kiwiplot-source.csv from the example file.
Syntax: [Frequency (Hz)],[Kiwi URL],[Kiwi port]

Example to measure single frequencies over time:
9000,dg7lan.kiwi.com,8073
147.3,dg7lan.kiwi.com,8073

For sweep measurements only the first entry line is used.

Example for single frequency measurements:
record.py (record.py [-u username])
This takes all entries from the csv and measures periodically

When finished, press CTRL-C to stop then use plotcsv.py -i filename.csv

Example to sweep over a frequency range (2kHz to 30MHz) with a bandwidth of 5kHz, averaging over 2 s-meter samples and the name "no_filter_1000":
record.py -u dg7lan_measure -w 5000 -i 20 -s 2 -b 2 -t 30000 -n no_filter_1000

The result is a csv file that can be plotted with plotcsv.py:

The csv can hold multiple measurements that will be overlayed and can be turned on or off in the browser.

usage: record.py [-h] [-u USER] [-w BW] [-i INCREMENT] [-b BOTTOM] [-t TOP] [-s SSAMPLES] [-n NAME]

Switch	Command	Description
-h	--help	show this help message and exit
-u USER	--user USER	username / callsign
-w BW	--bw BW	bw in Hz
-i INCREMENT	--increment INCREMENT	if set, will go through a range in [increment] steps (Hz), ignoring the frequency set in the config file
-b BOTTOM	--bottom BOTTOM	if -b is set this will be the first frequency (kHz) to measure
-t TOP	--top TOP	if -t is set this will be the last frequency (kHz) to measure
-s SSAMPLES	--ssamples SSAMPLES	smeter samples
-n NAME	--name NAME	name of measurement (identifier)
-d SECONDS	--delay SECONDS	wait n seconds between measurements (usually set to 0 for sweep mode)
