Hi everyone, I hope this is the place to come to for questions about InstaCal and TracerDAQPro. I was running a test with thermocouples using TracerDAQ and a board I had just calibrated using InstaCal, spontaneously in the middle of the test, TracerDAQ sort of pooped out and every thermocouple instantly read 320.22°F and flatlined there. I opened up InstaCal to recalibrate, but when I right-clicked the board, and hit "Calibrate" it froze (eventually popping up with "Not Responding"), and I could not get past that step.
TracerDAQ would not load because the board was no longer calibrated, so I could not continue the test. However, I know the board was working and TracerDAQ was working, so it seemed like the InstCal was the issue. That was last Friday, then today, I tried testing it again, and now TracerDAQ is freezing up just like InstaCal when I try to open up a StripChart. Anyway, this is really random, and nothing seemed to have caused these issues.
One more detail, when I installed InstaCal, it immediately wanted me to enable an update feature (I wish I got a screenshot), which I ignored for a bit, but even enabling that feature did not seem to fix anything....and I doubt it was the problem, but maybe.
Anyway, I'm considering just uninstalling and reinstalling everything, (our IT tried doing a scan for corrupted files and other issues with my computer itself, but didn't find anything), but I'd rather not if there's a simpler solution. Appreciate any help!
