Have you tested it again with the current master i.e, https://git.rwth-aachen.de/qutech/cpp-atsaverage/-/commit/dbe6a6612bf975a1a4069181207e1a9ed155a24c ? There were some changes in config2.

from python_spectrometer import daq, Spectrometer
from tempfile import mkdtemp
from atsaverage.core import getLocalCard
card = getLocalCard(1, 1)
spect = Spectrometer(daq.atsaverage.AlazarATS9xx0(card, 0), savepath=mkdtemp())

spect.take()
Acquiring 1 spectra with key (0, ''):   0%|          | 0/1 [00:10<?, ?it/s]
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File ~\Documents\python-spectrometer\src\python_spectrometer\daq\atsaverage.py:105 in acquire
    result = self.card.extractNextScanline()

RuntimeError: waitForComputation: Trigger timeout.

Does this error immediately pop up or after the specified trigger timeout?

After 10 seconds (didn't specify a timeout, assume that's the default).

Seems to have been the usual trigger problem. Forcing it with AlazarDSO fixes it.

domains should go to qutil

Fine by me

Are these supposed to be data descriptors?

Who? Bound should be.

@simon.humpohl Any good ideas for how to configure hardware triggers here? Like Alex did it?
