Hi,

I'm using U6 with LabJackPython on OSX (exodriver). I am not able to consistently close and reopen the device. See example code below. If I insert a d.getName() before closing the device, then it does not give me an error.

Any help would be appreciated.

import u6

d = u6.U6()

d.close()

d = u6.U6()

If you are using OS X 10.11,

If you are using OS X 10.11, El Capitan, update it to the latest version (10.11.4 and newer). There were some El Capitan USB bugs causing LabJack communications issues after reopening which would cause issues in your code. The latest El Capitan update seemed to resolve the issue.

Note that:

d = u6.U6()
d.close()
d = u6.U6()

Should normally run fine, but I would expect issues with the following if you have one U6 connected to your Mac:

d = u6.U6()
d = u6.U6()

The second call will fail since your U6 is claimed and cannot be opened again until its handle is closed.
