Python Example for T7-pro + MUX80 with Raspberry Pi 3 via USB

I just put together some Python code to log single ended and differential voltages as well as internal temperatures with the T7-pro, MUX80, and a Raspberry Pi3.  I also included some thermisters and a temp/humidity sensor (HTU21D) because they were low hanging fruit.  The code uses commands from the ljm_constants.json document, which can be downloaded from the LabJack site.  I'm  using the USB to communicate between the two devices.  

Update: I managed to let the magic smoke out of the T7-pro by connecting it to the RPi via USB then connecting an HDMI cable to the RPi then somehow contacting the grounded outside of the HDMI terminal to something that was at a voltage higher than ground.  I have no idea how that happened, but a surge went through the system and the LabJack won't power up (two components on the protection of the USB input are toasted).  The very kind people at LabJack are working with me to get back online.  Just a warning to keep anything that is connected to power or ground from shorting to other stuff.
