Working offline

Hi Bart,

Yesterday I made an ensemble of scope measurements with the CS328A and saved the waveforms as binary files, with the intent of organizing them later for a presentation.

In the evening, I booted up the program on my laptop at home (without the hardware), and tried loading one of the binaries in. It acted like it was successful (no error messages) but no trace was displayed.

Is it not possible to work in offline mode like this? Or is it necessary to have the measurement hardware attached to even do that?

Thanks,
John

Hello John,
You should be able to do exactly as you describe, and open a binary file off line, without the need for a connected unit. We will check this out..

Hi John,
Can you please tell me the version of the application you are using at both locations

Thanks
Roger

Hi John, Can you please tell me the version of the application you are using at both locations Thanks Roger

Thanks for your prompt reponse, guys. It's version v4.69993 . Bart was kind enough to add FRA access to the DDE code for me in this version, so I deleted all others.

Bests,
John

Hi John,
I will look at this issue today. And yes opening the binary files should open and display the waveforms when offline. I will be in touch!

Thanks Kane, looking forward to your results!

Thanks Kane, looking forward to your results! John

Are you still looking, or did you find something?

Anything, guys? This matter seems to have been dropped...

Hello John,
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

I tested this function on 4.69993 on a couple of machines. It worked fine here. I intended to investigate further but I got sidetracked, I am sorry.

Can you please check that you are opening the binary file via "File/Open from Binary..."? If you use "File/Open...", then that will not open the binary file.

I have attached an image showing the correct menu open.

Let me know how you get on,
thanks,
Kane.

Thanks Kane. Yes, I was using Open from Binary. I'll try it again tonight just to make sure I wasn't making a dumb mistake.

If the binary files do not open, could you send them to me kane.evans-mcleod@cleverscope.com to check there is nothing wrong with the files themselves.

Thanks,
Kane.

Hi Kane,

Well I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it is working fine now. So sorry for the hassle... :(

Thank you,
John

Don't apologise. If a user has a complication (misunderstanding or otherwise) it is good to know about it so perhaps we can see things from their perspective and perhaps make improvements!
All the best,
Kane.
