I just made an account for the purpose of saying thanks and a little info to help those that run into these issues. Thanks to Benf for his original work and thanks to rimidalv007 for his latest work and fixes.
First of all, this will not work in Windows 8.1 x64. Windows cannot connect to the dfw virtual drive therefore you can’t transfer files to it. I had to boot up my old windows 7 laptop and it worked instantly.
Second, after successfully transferring the correct hex file to be flashed to the oscilloscope and rebooting, it froze at “system initializing, please wait”. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and decided to just reboot it. It worked fine after.
I can’t believe how much better this program is. I’ve never used an oscilloscope before but I knew that the original was clunky. The lines were flashing all over the place and disappearing in the middle of the screen. They were also labeled annoyingly. I still haven’t even used the device yet but I know that updating was the correct thing to do.
