I got it working by using InstaCal on Windows and changing channel 0 from Disabled to Thermocouple. I don't see an equivalent path to get it working with Linux. The set_chan_type function results in an error. Please let me know if you support Linux and there is a way to do the initial configuration.

Hi Fausto, thanks, yes I am trying the t_in but find all the channels are disabled. When I try to set the type using set_chan_type I get uldaq.ul_exception.ULException: ULError.CONFIG_NOT_SUPPORTED: Configuration not supported How do I get rid of disabled and configure this device? The manual says to use the Windows software InstaCal but what about in Ubuntu?

I have the USB-TEMP product. I installed the C++ and Python libraries. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, libuldaq-1.2.1, and uldaq-1.2.3. When I run a_in.py I get a BAD_DEV_TYPE. Is running a_in.py as instructed the wrong thing to do for USB-TEMP? What do I have to do to get a temperature reading?
