The Zurich box can also be accessed via a python API.  Its a little bit opaque in some points on how this works as their documentation is a little thin on actual examples.  I've included a jupyter notebook and equivalent .py file for future reference.  This code is tested and has worked with the Zurich box data server at IP address 10.0.1.23.  It shows exactly how settings can be modified and how data can be read back using their poll command.

Notebook includes all instructions for setting the Zurich HF2LI box up from scratch.
