Is anyone running any different sotware other than the temper1w v 1.0.4 that came with the TEMPer1 temperature sensors?
I've found Linux software, but not much that will work xp.

I too would be interested in any suggestions on this question.
Although I still have a couple of uses for the TEMPer1 sensors I first bought, I've shifted to the 1-wire adapter from the same supplier and have bought DS18b20 sensors from several suppliers. The software for the TEMPer1 looks nearly the same as for the 1-wire. Both generate *.csv files, and there is other software available that can read and manage *.csv files. You might want to look in that direction, particularly software for weather stations.
I have a separate graphing program which the manual says can read real time *.csv files, like TEMPer1 (and 1-wire) generates, although I have not used it for that.
Right now with the 1-wire I log 13 sensors, the included software shows a real time graph of any mix of the sensors being logged, and I then take the *.csv file and read it into a separate database program which can output a *.csv file of whatever portion of the data I want, as well as do lots of other things with the data. The separate graphing program also will do a graph from the new output file, and if I print the graph to a pdf file, Adobe Acrobat will add notes, comments, lines, and other features to the graph to make it more informative. A lot of effort to get what I really want in the end, but very useful.

The obvious problem with any pre-packaged program is that it will only do the things built into the program. For a person who wants to try different things, this really frustrates the possible outcomes. On the other hand, if a person learns programming, or has a "programmable" program with scripts, then the options expand considerably, and a custom application which is very useful can be the result.
