I am working with PicoScope 6 version 6.11.13.2 on a OSX Sierra (10.12.3) Mac and am having problems with PicoScope 6 locking up and crashing.
It's rather odd actually, if I am actively taking measurements it seems to have no issues. All functionality that I'm using seems to be working properly.
If I allow the scope to sit idle (not taking measurements) the UI closes itself and the taskbar indicates that the program is not responding. Force Quit and restart and the program operates normally until I 'neglect' it again.
Recent turn of events: either I just didn't notice it before or it got worse, the UI crashes even when taking measurements. I'm using a 5204 PicoScope.
After the software crashes, could you please locate the trace.xml file using the instructions from this post and post it here or e-mail it to support@picotech.com please?
There is a new release of the software for Mac OS X and Linux due soon.
Same behavior than rushinb, PicoScope crashes after some minutes of activity.
Details: PicoScope 6.11.13.4
Mono: 4.8.0.495
MacOS: Sierra 10.12.3
Going to System Monitor I observed an uncontrolled memory allocation for PicoScope process. Reaching 2.5Gb (!!) the process crashes.
Please find enclosed the "trace.xml" file as dumped into my system.

I just got my PicoScope today. When I first installed the software, I was experiencing crashes on OSX 10.11.6 with the "growing memory" symptoms described by others.
Reverting to Mono 4.6.0.125 fixed the problem for me. The memory usage for PicoScope as shown in Activity Monitor appears to be stable around 120-130 MB. (The memory usage seems to creep up slowly, but it is slow enough that it's not a problem.)
I did experience another problem: My Mac went to sleep while PicoScope6 was running (and actively updating the display). When I woke up the computer, PicoScope was unresponsive. Force-quitting and restarting it fixed the problem. This isn't a big problem, just thought I'd mention it.
I'm on Sierra (10.12.6) and Picolog works like a charm. When I install Picoscope everything seems fine but when I click on the icon in the app folder the only thing that is happening is the Pico icon jumping up and down in the dock but the software does not open up and start. Mac OS reports that Pico does not respond and I have to force quit to shut the process down.
Any help to solve this issue would be seriously appreciated.
