Morning Guys
I wonder if any of you have a solution for this .. .. ..
I have an Instek GDS-1102A-U Oscilloscope which comes with a bit of free software known as Freewave3 which uses USB to link the scope to a PC.
Up until 2 months ago I was running my PC's on Win 7 without any issues and this Freewave3 link worked perfectly, each and every time I used it. However, one of my PC's died and the replacement came preloaded with Windows 10 so I upgraded the others to match. I was surprised to find that the upgrade went well in that everything continued to work, in spite of all the tales of woe on the net, except ... .. ... you've guessed it .. my Freewave3.
Initially, I couldn't get Win 10 to see the scope at all, but then I discovered it thought it was a printer and was trying to operate it with a printer driver .. Tsk!
Now it sees the scope, connects to it OK but after a short period, usually around 10 secs or so it drops the USB connection. sometimes unplugging and then replacing the USB will restore it, but sometimes it will need a reboot .. .. .. .. .
This is doing wonders for my blood pressure, not to mention the already advanced ageing process .. .. .
Any ideas Guys ?
Thanks
