==Troubleshooting==
+
 
+
==Other pcsgu250 software may be active==
+
If you get an error starting with "Other pcsgu250 software may be active..." and the PcLab2000LT program is hanging, do the following:
+
 
+
*Open Windows Task Manager (CTRL-SHIFT-ESC) and kill the hung PcLab2000LT process
+
 
+
*Open Windows Explorer (Computer)
+
*In the toolbar select '''Organize''' -> '''Folder and search options'''
+
*In the '''View''' tab, select "Show hidden files, folders and drives", click '''OK'''
+
*Locate the folder: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Velleman\
+
*Delete the entire Velleman folder
+
 
+
The PcLab2000LT program should now be functioning.
+
 
+
===Matlab on a 64-bit machine===
+
 
+
* ECE students that will be using the Velleman scope integration will require 32-bit MATLAB installations (due to the library provided by the vendor is 32-bit only). The documentation in the support package does call out this requirement.
+
* 64-bit OS users can have both a Win 32-bit install and a win 64-bit install at the same time (as well as for different versions e.g. R2011a and R2011b). There may not be a reason too, but it is possible.  Each of these installations go into a different installation folder, and the applications can be run at the same time if desired.
+
 
+
===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
