Help for using Python to upload custom datapoints to Remote Manager

Get help for uploading datapoints to your Digi Remote Manager account by accessing help for datapoint.upload and datapoint.upload_multiple:

1. Select a device in Remote Manager that is configured to allow shell access to the admin user, and click Actions > Open Console. Alternatively, log into the EX15 local command line as a user with shell access.

   Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type shell to access the device shell.

2. At the shell prompt, use the python command with no parameters to enter an interactive Python session:

3. Import the datapoint submodule and other necessary modules:

   >>> from digidevice import datapoint
   >>>

4. Use the help command with datapoint.upload:

   >>> help(datapoint.upload)
   Help on function upload in module digidevice.datapoint:
   
   upload(stream_id:str, data, *, description:str=None, timestamp:float=None, units:str=None, 
   geo_location:Tuple[float, float, float]=None, quality:int=None, 
   data_type:digidevice.datapoint.DataType=None, timeout:float=None)
   ...

5. Use the help command with datapoint.upload_multiple:

   >>> help(datapoint.upload_multiple)
   Help on function upload_multiple in module digidevice.datapoint:
