I am a new user of Picoscope 2205A, I bought for my classroom. Maybe I a doing everything wrong.
My MAC is a MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM, running Mojave 10.14.1.
First I installed PicoScope-6.13.7-4r706 and restarted my computer. When clicking the item, it bumped several times and then stalled - nothing.
Then I have tried adding MonoFramework-MDK-5.16.0.220.macos10.xamarin.universal - restart and same result. I also tried MonoFramework-MDK-5.0.1.1.macos10.xamarin.universal, again restart and no running PicoScope!
I ave updated my macbook pro - tried several mono-frameworks and nothing

I need it for my students and having something that does not work - and nobody replies on my email-requests!
I got mine to start up, but I'm getting gibberish. I only have boxes where the characters should be. See the two attached images. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
@TonyMaroni I have been unable to locate any emails to support@picotech.com so can't verify why you have not received any responses, would you be able to resend your last email. With respect to starting the application how long did you leave it in the stalled state ?
@jasonnolan This looks like a character encoding issue, possibly linked to Mono. Can you please email support@picotech.com and someone on the team can look into this for you
I found a solution to fix this issue, most likely this is a known problem of the Mono installation for the current version 5.20.1.19.
After a fresh install I noticed that running the install test
I got a warning similar to "pkg-config could not find mono installed on this system" and the information that "Windows.forms and System.drawing" is not be available.
I suspect this causes the issue that the characters are not displayed properly. To fix this problem, one needs to add the path to the pkg-config tool from mono to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH of mono (which sounds reasonable).
The below steps solve the issue "Characters displayed as boxes or rectangles".
Excecute below steps in a terminal
~$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig:
~$ mono-test-install
Active Mono: /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/mono
You have a working System.Drawing setup
Your file system watcher is: System.IO.CoreFXFileSystemWatcherProxy
Once the System.Drawing is OK the characters are displayed as expected.
