My PCSU1000 is not working anymore. At least the software is giving me errors.
the oscilloscope is recognized as a usb device but when selecting this device,
the software automatically sets the demo mode and trying to select again the usb device
in the hardware setup results in an error : could not open the DriveLinx driver.
I tried to reinstall it but the error keeps coming up.
Any advise ?
The DriverLINX driver is not needed if you do not have any LPT port connected Velleman oscilloscopes or function generators e.g. PCS500 or PCG10.
The problem is that if you select at the startup screen only the PCSU1000 then the program PCSU1000.exe is run. This program tries to load the DriverLINX driver.
You can avoid this by selecting on the startup screen both PCSU1000 and PCGU1000 (there is no problem if you do not have the PCGU1000). By selecting this combination the program PCSU1000GU.exe is run. This program doesn’t try to load the DriverLINX driver.
If problems persist you can try following solution:
Remove the PCSU1000 driver and then install it again.
For more info please see: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9990
When removing the driver, you have to check the check box “Delete the driver software for this device”.
When done, unplug and plug the PCSU1000 and install the driver again.
