I'm trying to write Xsens Device API Python code for reading live data from three MTw sensors connected to a Awinda2 USB Dongle. However, the library function startRecording fails every time. I've tried numerous rearrangements without success. My OS is Linux. The question is, how to make the function work as expected.
EDIT: I removed the code as the answer explains the issue without any need for specifics.
It seems that some Xsens Device API functions require their own try-except blocks around them to work in Python. That solved the issue.
