Re: PicoScope6_r6_14_54 does not find 2204A

Yesterday I have inquired from PicoTech support, whether they have found a solution to the problem and whether they will provide an updated and corrected version of PicoScope 6. The answer is: "No we are no longer supporting Windows 7 as its no longer receiving windows updates. And not supported by ...

Re: PicoScope6_r6_14_54 does not find 2204A

No, I have only changed the PicoScope6 version. v6.14.54 does not find the 2204A, v6.13.17 finds it. I have changed back and forth. FRA4PicoScope with the latest PicoSDK also finds the 2204A. In the meantime I have directly written to PicoTech's support. Last Friday somebody answered and asked for a...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Thank you Aaron for the detailed answer. I am looking forward to your next version of FRA4PicoScope :-) : @setti: The possible problem depends on the length of cables that you are going to use and the kind of termination at the other end. E.g. RG58 coax cable is specified with 105 pF/m. If you attac...

Re: PicoScope6_r6_14_54 does not find 2204A

As nobody replies to my problem report I have looked for other peoples experiences with the 2204A and PicoScope6 and ...7. This led me to this youtube-video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVtSvYQLSOo The author tells that PicoScope6_r6_14_54.exe is the last version and that PicoScope6 will no long...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hello Aaron, my impression is that FRA4PicoScope applies "Minimum cycles captured" already while Auto-ranging to find the most appropriate sensitivity for input and output. This takes a long time for frequencies <1Hz. Is my impression correct ? If yes, my feature request for your next version would ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hello Aaron, thank for the explanations and hints. I have made two further test measurements, 1. one with my previous settings, i.e. "low noise mode", "Minimum cycles captured": 28, and default values. Stimulus 4Vpp, sweep from 0.1 to 3000 Hz. This took 34 minutes, spending most of the time for 0.1 ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hello Aaron, thank you for the detailed explanation. I have not yet read every word, but tried to grasp the main "scene". 1. So I understand, version 0.7.0b was not yet ok with respect to lowest possible frequency. 2. Version 0.7.3b crashed at every attempt to start. In any instance, however, I had ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

"With a little help from my friends" I managed to find a copy of PicoSDK_32_10.6.13.97.exe, overcame my aversion against software, most of which I will never use, and installed it. The ~75 MB download was expanded to ~164 MB. The positive side is that FRA4PicoScope 0.7.0b now starts quietly without ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Accidentally I hit on the Yes-button after FRA4PicoScope's initial message "Loaded DLLs do not meet... Continue?". Version 0.7.0b starts, finds the 2204A and successfully initializes it. Minimum frequency with the default settings is now 0.77 Hz. (I think, also with 400 ms "Extra settling time"). Wh...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

I have now de-installed PicoScope6_r6_14_54 as it is useless. Instead I have installed Version r6_13_17 which manages to find the 2204A. FRA4PicoScope0.6.2bRC4 works in that connection. Nevertheless I have also de-installed FRA4PicoScope0.6.2bRC4 and replaced it by FRA4PicoScope_0.7.0b. This version...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

No, I always tried only one or the other application. In the meantime I have returned to FRA4PicoScope 0.6.2b RC4 because this is the only one of the three versions mentioned, that works in my environment, i.e. Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium. I have posted the problem in another forum and heard from ...

PicoScope6_r6_14_54 does not find 2204A

Hello, I purchased a 2204A in 2018 and have been using it with PicoScope6_r6_13_15.exe until an hour ago. Then I installed the new version PicoScope6_r6_14_54.exe . This version does not find the connected device. When I unplug and plug in again the program starts in demo-mode. The menu item File->C...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

In the meantime I have installed the newest version of PicoScope 6 and it got even worse: PicoScope6_r6_14_54.exe does not recognize my plugged-in PicoScope 2204A. It starts in demo mode. I cannot connect any device because the device list is empty. What kind of shit is this ? That's horrible... Kai
