I bought this years ago and haven’t used it in a while. I needed it today and installed the new version. What a real step backwards. Who thought this was an improvement?
Where can you download old versions for win10.
@info5 Our list of older software versions can be found below:
Please also let me know any specific feedback you have with the newer version of the software! I also noticed that your topic title relates to removing a “disable” function. Can you explain that in more detail?
Hope to learn more about the gripes you currently have with our software.
You should be able to enable or disable a channel instead of having to unplug it. There are many times you need to isolate one signal and hiding it is not the answer since it still affects the display. This software was much better way back when I used it years ago. Great product but a step back on recent GUI changes versus what I was used to before.
@info5 Channels can be disabled/enabled via the Device settings panel on the right side of the software. We’ve got a short video of this in the link below (under “Channels & Sampling Rate“).
Was this the functionality you were looking for? Also, can you let me know more about what you meant from “it still affects the display“? Hope to learn more about the specific functionality you are looking for!
Thanks for the information. If you’re referring to expanding the pop out window on the right hand side where you might see eight color boxes if I put my mouse above those, it shows a circle with a slash through it as if you cannot click on it. My first two channels are visible and six through eight are hidden and those show lines through them indicating they are Hidden. But I cannot click on those little boxes, although it would’ve been nice if you would’ve included the words on those little boxes that said enable disable, so it would be very obvious what the boxes function were. At a glance, there is no indication as to what clicking on the boxes should do, as you might perceive it to be high Unhide or other. What does it mean if I have the mouse over those boxes and an icon shows up with a circle with a/through it diagonally to imply that the button is not accessible?. To explain what I mean by hiding or un hiding, obviously if you hide a channel and it is still receiving data, it affects the screen because the screen move moves around to reflect triggers from any channel That is seeing data. So if I want to hide all channels except for one and try to have that particular channel centered on the screen, so I can observe hexadecimal values on it, it is not possible to do it while other channels are receiving data as well because it just jumps all over the place. That’s why I want to be able to disable all channels except for one that I’m trying to hold in a position on the monitor. And I cannot disable a channel. Furthermore, it should not take an abundance of time for a programmer to find out how to disable the channel, including spending time on the Internet, posting questions as to how to do this it should be at most 15 seconds to learn how to enable or disable a channel on this newer GUI. The old ones just worked.
I have the 8 channel version.
@info5 Ah, thanks for clarifying which Logic model you own! It looks like you are using our very first logic analyzer — specifically Gen1 Logic, or Original Logic. I assume you own the one pictured below?
You are correct in that our Gen1 Logic never had the capability to truly disable channels. This was fixed in hardware, and therefore, no version of our software was capable of disabling channels (i.e. channels can only be hidden). All future versions of Logic (i.e. Gen1 Logic16, Logic 4, 8, Pro 8, Pro 16, and now our newest Logic MSO) were given the capability to actually disable channels moving forward.
I agree that the tooltip is not helpful at all, and your confusion could have been entirely avoided with a better tooltip. I’ll notify our software team!
