Hi I am a first timer to Artisan and whilst reasonably competent on a mac by no means a pro
I have purchased a Center 301 type K thermometer and am un able to get any temperature reading
I am on an intel chip mac book using Artisan version 6
I have selected the device in the device assignment window and done the port scan in the non Modbus settings window
The roaster scope window has the message in the left hans corner (Serial exception un able to open serial port
the roaster scope is not showing the green temp button either
your help with resolving this would be much appreciated

Artisan V0.6 in Ubuntu: sharing a trick to avoid the "chmod" step
everytime multilogger is turned ON
Hi all,
I have been using Artisan 0.6 for some time under Linux Ubuntu.
Software works super fine but until today I had to open and terminal
window and change permissions everytime I started the Amprobe TMD56
multilogger (otherwise Artisan would not read it):
$> cd /dev
$> sudo chod 666 ttyUSB0
(at this point you are asked to type in your admin password)
The following is what I did today - once for all and with the help of
a Linux-expert friend - so that datalogging works immediately after
starting Artisan and turning the multilogger ON.
Open a terminal window, plugg in the datalogger and turn it on. Type
the command below to find-out which group your USB device belongs to
(here "ttyUSB0"):
$> ls -l /dev/*USB*
This means the group `dialout' has read and write permission on the
device "ttyUSB0". I then realized I only had to belong to this group
to be allowed to use the device. To check the groups you belong to type:
$>id
Result:
uid=1000(pepelepoisson) gid=1000(pepelepoisson)
groupes=1000(pepelepoisson),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),
46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),124(sambashare)
"dialout" is not listed under "groupes". This is what you need to
change.
on debian based distro, you can simply type "sudo adduser "followed by
your username (here "pepelepoisson"), followed by the groupename (here
dialout):
$> sudo adduser pepelepoisson dialout
(at this point you are asked to type in your admin password)
Loggout then login again. Type "id" again to confirm that your user
was added to the "dialout" group:
uid=1000(pepelepoisson) gid=1000(pepelepoisson)
groupes=1000(pepelepoisson),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),
30(dip),46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),124(sambashare)
This did the trick for me! I though I would share it with you in case
somebody else wants to reuse the recipe!
PS: You can probably also, using the graphical interface, add you to
the `dialout' group into `user administration' or such panel depending
if you are using kde, gnome...
Cheers,
Pascal.
