PicoLog, latest version: 99% CPU usage
Using PicoScope 2000, Windows 10 x64 bit:
1) PicoLog, latest version, is using 99% of CPU with only one channel enabled, with only 1 second sampling interval. If channel is disabled (not blue, but gray color) then CPU usage is 5%. Task Manager shows 6 PicoLog processes. I re-booted PC, clicked on PicoLog icon only once to make sure only one instance is running, but still CPU usage is 99% and six PicoLog processes are running (five of them use zero CPU). Insane.
2) For comparison, PicoScope (not PicoLog) is using only 5% CPU when no data and about 50% CPU when probes are connected (data is flowing). But PicoScope is capturing gazillion times more data at nanoseconds sampling intervals, etc (not one second sampling interval like PicoLog).

Re: PicoLog, latest version: 99% CPU usage
That should not happen.
We would recommend killing all running PicoLog processes using task manager and then clean out the AppData directory C:\Users\{UserLoginName}\AppData\Local\PicoLog , which will allow you to restart as if the software has just been installed.

Re: PicoLog, latest version: 99% CPU usage
1) I a) cleared the C:\Users\{UserLoginName}\AppData\Local\PicoLog directory, b) uninstalled PicoLog; and c) installed it again, to make sure there are no funny mis-installation issues.
2) There are still six (6) PicoLog processes running, five of them consume zero or 0.4% CPU, and only one consumes 5% when PicoScope 2000 is NOT connected. As soon as PicoScope 2000 is connected, the CPU usage is 99%.

Re: PicoLog, latest version: 99% CPU usage
Six processes is normal, 99% is not. Can you save a .picolog file when it is in this state so we can look at the setup.
