Troubleshooting

Bode Plot Hangs

    • Drivers from Velleman have been updated, this might not be an issue anymore.

When running on a 64-bit machine, you must install the PCSGU250Driver_WinUSB driver, not the PCSGU250Driver. If you have accidentally installed the PCSGU250Driver, follow the directions for uninstalling and installing drivers
