@Komodo – you’re clearly frustrated at a manufacturer for imposing its will on you, and that’s understandable, but I don’t see that as a reason to direct your frustration at an innocent blog post that attempts only to help others. I’m sorry that I don’t have a post that would tell you the precise steps you need to follow to accomplish your specific task, but that isn’t the goal here. If you’re never going to use Python, and you’re a technician with no plans to write code, then the best I can say is to either buckle down and learn what you need to get your work done, or get someone else to do it. Good luck.

I wanted to connect my Labjack DAQ to Linux. In Windows, I can make this work beautifully in VB for Excel (now of course VB has been buggered beyond recognition, but hey, I’ve still got Office 97). In Linux, Python is the manufacturer’s choice for communicating with his product. What I would like to get Python to do is repeatedly to read an input analogue voltage, and catenate it to a log file, along with the value of a counter. Do I have to learn the whole (expletive) language to get it to do this?
I’m not a programmer. I’m a technician. I doubt if I will use Python for any other purpose. Everything I have found on it suggests that it has a vast and convoluted grammar comparable to that of Turkish, but less logical. I only need it because it has been imposed on me by a manufacturer. And I am afraid your blog didn’t help. Sorry.

Well, I have read a fair bit about python and like the sound of it. I am virgin to programming and haven’t looked into learning a language before. I have done some work in “scratch” before, so I know about ifs,elses, ifelses etc. but I have no idea how to code them. I was wondering if you know of a resource for COMPLETE beginners that could give me the basic information needed for “beginner” tutorials.
