Then you should go back to the older version that works for you. I don't know if the 6.5.54.0 is available to Non Autonerdz, Pico Group members ?

I bought my Scope from Autonerdz and have access to everything Cheesy

Thanks, Tom. The Pico Kool-Aid is great Smiley

Ok, I see where this is going. You know this isn't so . This a softwar update from PICO, not Autonerdz. I would like to be a nerdz full member but I quess thats to late. I'm in the position of buying add on's for my pico that would add up to purchase or more of the autonerdze 4423 package. If they would make me a full member I would buy everything else that I need and want threw the nerdze. I've been wanting to ask about this for awhile. Thanks. Mark. P.S I made a mistake, please don't let me suffer for it.

Mark -

If you want version 6.5.54.0 just look down a few threads in this forum for the thread entitled "PicoScope Software Advisory"

http://www.autonerdz.com/cgi/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1304027610

Tom posted both a warning about not using 6.5.74.42 and links to both 6.5.54.0 and 6.4.95.0 that is accesible to both picogroup members and nonmembers.

Though I would suggest sticking with 6.4.95.0 for now since it seems to be a very good stable version.

Not - I wasn't sure if you could get the 6.5.54.0 version Smiley

Mark,

I trust you now found the functional PicoScope downloads. We have never posted a PicoScope software advisory in the public boards before but the 6.5.74 is so bad that we kinda had to try to do some damage control.

The longer it is out there the more problems we have to deal with.

You found one of the major isssues with it...there are plenty more. We do not consider it at all functional.

Be sure to completely uninstall the 6.5.74 before you choose one of the previous builds to install.

If you need any help, let me know.

Hi,

I had installed the 6.5.74 und taken some Waves.
When i now uninstall that version and install the 6.5.54 or the 6.4.95
and open a file with the Demo-Device selected, Pico crashes.

Thought it could be my Laptop, but problem shows up
on 3 fully different Computers/Laptops.

When i reinstall the 6.5.74 i can look at the waves on all 3 Computer
without that anything happens.

Chris,

You will not be able to open any files that you saved using 6.5.74 with an earlier version of PicoScope. I am not sure if you will be able to open them with a future release.

It's not unusual that a future build file would not be able to be opened with older software if significant changes were made. But future builds should always open past build files.

It should not crash though. It should just come up with a message telling you that the file is not compatable with your current version and suggest an update.

Put up one of your files here and I will see if I can open it with a pre release version I have been testing that will eventually evolve into the next build.

I didn't save anything from the 6.5.74 build.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the hint.I juste tryed older Waves, and they opened
up.But i don´t know with what Version i took them.
So it seems just to be this newer Waves with older Version-Thing.
Thats firstly good to know Wink

Here is one File with the .74 what always crashes.
Its nothing really intresseting but, its the smallest i could find.

Chris

P.S - Sorry if my English isn´t so good - i´m from Germany

Chris,

I was able to open your file two different ways with this alpha software.

The first image is with preferences set to English and the second one set to metric.

Not sure what it was supposed to look like but this difference is caused by the fact that you used the built in WPS probes not the software version differences. The built in WPS probes are problematic and we don't use them for this reason.

Anyway, this appeas to be good news for your 6.5.74 files that they will open with a future release and will not be lost. But this alpha is not ready for prime time yet.
