Software freeze Picolog

Post by filmus »

I use Picolog last version with RS232 TC08.
For a long time the software worked correctly on old PC (5 years old).
After I replaced the PC to new one, the software freezes after some time (it changes, 1hour, 3 hours, but no more).
The problem appeared on 2 different new PC's. I work with 500000 samples of 1 second.
The log save the data until the time of the freeze.
I need a solution fast.

Thanks for any help.

Michael

Hi it could be that the serial port or USB to serial converter you are using is not providing enough voltage under load.

The TC-08 requires +/-7V to power it up under load. Some PCs that have serial ports have limited ones and some USB to serial converters are not as good as others. Whilst a USB to serial converter may work happily with a different product it does not necesseraly mean that it will work well with the serial TC-08.

This is the one we have tested an know it works:
