Time/post-trigger delay bug?

Post by adynis »

Hello,
It's about a picoscope 2204.
Trying to understend the post trigger delay I observed some unusual things:
- If i set a time delay which it is "in the screen" (entire arrow is visible when selecting the trigger yellow point) it's ok
- If i move the triger to the left and the arrow tries to get out of the screen, something will go wrong: Picoscope freeze OR the signal simply doesn't appears OR it changes to "stop capturing". I can't see the signal anymore. In ~ 60% of my tests with the trigger "out of screen" I got to a freeze of picoscope in first ... minute. If i disconnect the usb cable, it comes back working ... but without the scope attached to it ... so .. no signal.

I attached some screenshots with the trigger in the 2 cases: the trigger arrow in the screen (and working) and out of the scren (and not working)


Which is the problem here ? It's a mistake of mine?, it's a software bug ? It's a hardware bug ?
Thank you.

Hi

This does appear to be a software bug. I will report it to our development team.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I understand that you could reproduce this problem.
I'm glad to hear that it isn't a hardware problem because this means that it will be resolved in the feature.
Usually ... what is the time period to resolve this kind of bugs ? Or ... in other words ... whan could i espect to appear a new version of PicoSoft ? (aproximatively)

Thank you

Hi

The bug should be fixed in the next release of PicoScope 6. We don't have a planned release date currently, I'm afraid. However, we are always updating and adding features and new releases occur roughly every 1-2 months.

You can subscribe to our newsletter, to keep up-to-date with releases.

You can also email us: support@picotech.com

Is there a full list with the changes resolved in every version of picoscope 6 ?
I think the problem in this topic hasn't been resolved yet :p
