Picoscope 6 freezes view signal

Post by PATO555148 »

Hi, I bought Picoscope 2206B. I use PicoScope 6.14.44.5870 but sometimes, when is scope running in Scope Mode (at any set time to div)) is freezing view signal for a period of about 1s (red LED on case is turn off for a given time (not blink). Then it does not freeze again until after 10s to 30s but after it freezes again for 1s. It does this even if no trigger is set.Tested even without connected signal at the input. It is a software issue or HW issue or normal? I tried it on other PC but same issue.

I think I found the cause of freezing. It looks like a problem with my laptop and its slow CPU. Both test laptops had a CPU with 2 cores and a clock speed of 2.4Ghz. I upgraded one CPU to i7 with 4 cores and the problem no longer occurs.
