SinusGen generates and writes sinus data as bytes into a binary file. If values are greater than 256, two files are written. As of now, this is a commandline-tool. This might change in the future. It runs on 64 bit versions of Linux, MacOS, Windows and other systems supported by Python.

sinusgen v2.32 [27.10.2021] *** by fieserWolF
usage: sinusgen.py [-h] [-cfg CONFIG_FILE] [-show] [-list] [-output OUTPUT_FILE] [-min MINIMUM_VALUE] [-max MAXIMUM_VALUE] [-steps STEPS]
[-type TYPE] [-invert] [-offset OFFSET] [-mod MODULO]
This program writes sinus data as bytes into a binary file. If values are greater than 256, two files are written.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-cfg CONFIG_FILE configuration in .json format
-show show preview
-list list all avaiable sinus types and exit
-output OUTPUT_FILE name of binary output file without its suffix
-min MINIMUM_VALUE minimum value (0-65535)
-max MAXIMUM_VALUE maximum value (0-65535)
-steps STEPS amount of bytes to generate, values below 5 cause an error with some sinus-types
-type TYPE sinus type, see output of --list
-invert invert values
-offset OFFSET step offset, where to begin
-mod MODULO modulo value
Note: All values of a config-file can be overwritten by commandline parameters.
Examples:
./sinusgen.py -cfg sinus1.json -show
./sinusgen.py -output datafile -min 0 -max 255 -steps 256 -type 1 -invert -offset 20 -mod 8
./sinusgen.py -cfg sinus1.json -max 255 -type 10 -show

sinusgen comes in two flavors:
- standalone executable for 64-bit systems Linux, MacOS/Darwin will follow and Windows will follow (see releases)
- Python3 script
Just download your bundle at releases and enjoy. Keep in mind that only 64bit systems are supported as I could not find a 32bit system to generate the bundle.
If some antivirus scanner puts sinusgen into quarantine because it suspects a trojan or virus, simply put it out there again. It isn`t harmful, I used PyInstaller to bundle the standalone executable for you. Unfortunately, the PyInstaller bootloader triggers a false alarm on some systems. I even tried my best and re-compiled the PyInstaller bootloader so that this should not happen anymore. Keep your fingers crossed ;)
Your system might complain that the code is not signed by a certificated developer. Well, I am not, so I signed the program on my own.
"sinusgen" can`t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
You need to right-click or Control-click the app and select “Open”.
Download sinusgen.py and, optionally as an example, sinus1.json into the same folder on your computer.
python3 sinusgen.py
At least this is needed to run the script directly:
- python 3
- argparse
- python "The Python Imaging Library" (PIL)
Normally, you would use pip like this:
pip3 install argparse pillow
On my Debian GNU/Linux machine I use apt-get to install everything needed:
apt-get update
apt-get install python3 python3-argh python3-pil
- maybe: implement full GUI
Any help and support in any form is highly appreciated.
