Connecting to an ARDI Server

The first step in using the API is connecting.

This verifies that the server you want to talk to is available, and discovers critical information such as how to subscribe to live data.

To connect, you create a Class: Server object, initialised with the address of the ARDI server and the site name you wish to connect to.

import ardi
server = ardi.Server("myardiip")  #This will connect to the 'default' site if none is specified

Then, call Connect to establish the connection. This will return False if the connection failed, or True if the connection was successful.

if not server.Connect():
    print("ARDI Server Not Available")
    exit(0)

Now you're connected, you can Read Live Data or Make a Query.
