version 6.2 is unable to export spectrum correctly

Post by kenjixx »

I'm using PicoScope 6.2.0.18.

When I do "Edit -> Copy as Text -> Paste it text editor" in the spectrum view.
First column (of pasted data) is frequency[kHz], but 2nd column is voltage[mV] not [dBu].
And this 2nd column is the same of 2nd column values in the scope view.

This problem also occurs in Files -> Save Current Waveform as -> save as *.txt or *.csv format.

This problem is reproduced after I deleted "~\Local Settings\Application Data\Pico Technology" and reinstalled PicoScope. Latest beta 6.2.1 also causes this problem.

So I cannot export the spectrum. Please Help me.

exported_spectrum.txt; 2nd column is the same of the scope data. This is not spectrum.
exported_scope.txt; This file has no problem.

Hi kenjixx

I will report this back to our software engineers after our Christmas shut-down.

This bug has now been been fixed and the fix will be included in the next release of PicoScope 6.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks!

But, I would like to use the fixed version as soon as possible.
Because old version 6.1.x cannot open the data saved with version 6.2.

Can I get the fixed beta or the patch?

Downloading latest beta release r6.2.1

Post by Chris Stamford-Burrows »

I am interested to save spectrum data also.
I have just registered at the Forum, and tried to download the BETA software onto a PC with 6.2.0.18 recently installed.

However the insallation does not complete. One Instal windows says the download feture requires 0KB on hard drive.

Is there a problem ?

Hi Chris

Have you tried uninstalling PS6 first?

Loading BETA version 6.2.1

OK - uninstalling 6.2.0 manually worked.
I'll test the bug-fix tomorrow.

Thanks
