Waveforms Crashes when Open File or Save File are selected

[tr53]

Waveforms is installed on a Win 10 computer and is the current beta software 3.16.34_64.  When Workspace>Open Workspace file or other dialogs are selected I get the following crash. I suspect it is a Qt problem. I have seen this with other Qt based programs and can't remember how I worked around/solved the issue.

TIA

BTW I have tried running Waveforms in Admin mode.

Hi @tr53

I don't know what could be wrong.
For the next software version I've changed to use Qt's file dialog.

Hi @tr53

I'm wondering if you tried the latest beta version which uses custom file dialog and if this solves the problem you noticed?

Sorry I haven't had lot of time to check it out... it is better. Not crashing though takes a while to respond... I also changed the sleep time on a data storage drive...

Saving the workspace works great now! So thanks!

Is there a way to pull recorded data back into Waveforms for later analysis. Or should I be looking at using a python notebook and Jupyter?

Hi @tr53

Thank you for feedback.

I also wanted to ask you if you are using network mapped devices... these can take some time to load.

I recommend using workspaces to save setups (views, cursors, notes, labels...) together with data. You can add Tabs in Scope and Logic, or Reference channels in Scope, Spectrum, NA, IA...
You can also export acquisitions or raw or channel data.
