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
