Hi Hitesh, This is what I have been doing for years. I run a VMware emulator on the mac with Win XpPro just so I can run picoscope for training purposes with my Picoscope 4224 (which is total overkill for this application) so I can display the real world voltages on screen. For walk tests I use an a...

PS regarding the custom tools I also use the system for training. Having the system say "V" when it should say "kV" is not convincing for non-technical course attendees.

Thanks Hitesh but that is no good to me. I use the software for "walk tests" measuring human body voltage over a 20 second period. I watch the waveform while the person walks until I have a screenful of good waveform and then when I have, I stop and save the waveform. I process the data with Excel. ...

It seems to basically work now BUT
1) I can't see how to set up custom probes
2) I can't seem to restrict data samples to less than about 15000. Eg if I select to limit to 1 k samples the control in the top bar says it is restricted but in practice the saved file gives 15 k samples

crashes when I try to "save as" or "save settings as"

I often want to do many slow waveforms over a 20 second screen with lw resolution (100S/s is fine) to keep size down for spreadshet analysis. Curent version does not seem to go belo 750S/s and 15kS on a 2s/div screen timebase.

>> Try switching your parallel port to 'output only' or 'standard' mode.

Switching to "output" did the trick!!


Thanks

I have just bought a new IBM Thinkpad R52 and installed the latest Picoscope. The display just sits at 5V when my ADC 42 is plugged into LPT1. It works fine on my old machine. Any ideas?
