So, click "Capture options" button (the cogwheel like icon, the middle one of three) and make sure that the "Energy Capture" input contains <DS-5-path>/bin/caiman -d /dev/ttyACM0I have 5.10 (build 1389) I tried putting this in the energy capture field: /usr/local/DS-5/bin/caiman -d /dev/ttyACM0 (I also see /usr/local/DS-5/sw/energy_probe/caiman, but the one in /usr/local/DS-5/bin seems to be the script that sets things up for it and calls the latter)
Ok, last thing to check would be the /dev/ttyACM0 permissions... Can you actually do "cat /dev/ttyACM0"? It's a serial device, so on Ubuntu it will be owned by "dialout" group.
Also, fwiw, I tried running caiman from the command line, even with specifying -d /dev/ttyACM0 and I get no output. Not sure if I'm supposed to get anything though. All it does is create an empty file called "0000000000"
Yeah, it doesn't actually start talking to the probe before Streamline connects to it...
