Kme

class canlib.kvmlib.Kme(handle)[source]

A kme file

A class representing a KME file. The main use is twofold:

Either we create a KME file using createKme and would like to write events using Kme.write_event:

with kvmlib.createKme('out/data.kme50') as kme:
    ...
    kme.write_event(my_logevent)

Or we read events from an existing KME file:

with kvmlib.openKme('in/data.kme50') as kme:
    event = kme.read_event()
    ...
    print(event)

Note that only KME files of type KME50 may currently be written to.

New in version 1.7.
