'Scope software ver. 5.0.9

Jonathan

Hi All,

Downloaded the latest version of the USB scope software today, hoping it would correct a display issue I was having on my laptop. It did! Nice. While I could use it before, it is much easier now. And indeed the refresh etc is greatly improved.

A couple of things though. I get an occasional error stating "Divide by 0". I then have to stop and restart the scope. It does this on both the laptop and a desktop.

Is there any way to set the background to white? The black makes it harder to see on my laptop in strong light.

A couple of nits: The calibration routine gives no indication that it is done. It would be nice if it told you that it was complete. I sat there for a while wondering if it was still calibrating. Also, the word "frequency" is misspelled as "frequancy".

Thanks for updating the software! It's nice to be able to read it on the laptop better.

I think they are working on that and some other issues right now. I don't know when a new Rev. will be available, but I would guess it will be a while.

Chris is correct…We’re currently revising several issues for a future release. Take care.

Found another issue with the software. Not picking nits or complaining, just making sure that Parallax is aware of the issue:

The pulse measurement info on the right side of the screen is only correct at the 200uS/div setting and above. At 100 and 50uS it is incorrect.
