3. Try applying the settings in the \[Details] tab
   1. If you’ve used roasting software before, check and apply the Phidget settings from that app.
   2. Sensors not physically connected to the Phidget won’t provide any readings, even if you configure them.
   3. For example, if the Inlet Temperature isn’t connected to the Phidget device, checking IT won’t return a valid value.
4. Click **\[Submit]**. The connection result will appear within 10 seconds.
   1. If the connection is successful, you’ll be able to see temperature values from your roasting machine.
