Home: Scopy exits or hangs after connect in calibration

[Modiug]

Environment:

• OS: Windows 10 Enterprise, 22H2, 19045.3930
• FW Version: v0.32
• SW Version or git tag: Scopy v1.4.1

Describe the bug
After clicking connect, "Connecting" and then "Calibrating" is displayed. After a few seconds the Scopy window closes, or it hangs forever. This only happens on my work laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 1). No problems on another laptop under both, Windows 10 and Linux (LMDE 6).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
As described above

1. Select device
2. Click on 'Connect'
3. Window closes after a few seconds or hangs with a busy indicator

Expected behavior
Finish calibration after a few seconds and resume normal operation

Additional context
I tried the usual:

• Cleaning the AppData\Roaming\ADI folder.
• Clicking "Reset Scopy" in Preferences.

Other observations:

• My work laptop is managed by corporate IT and uses Windows EPM (end point management)
• Interestingly GnuRadio with the M2K driver DOES work on this machine (even with "Calibrate ADC: True")
• I have two M2Ks, both show the same behavior with Scopy on my work laptop

Unfortunately, I cannot recall if this ever worked on this machine. Scopy had worked on a previous machine. It might be related to a Windows update or the way how priviledges are managed (EPM?).

Hi,

Before trying to connect to the M2K - could you check in the Preferences page for a setting related to OpenGL and if checked, uncheck it. Then try to connect to the M2K and see if this still happens?
If it still does, we can investigate further.

Thank you!

Hi Alexandra,

no, unfortunatly unchecking "use hardware accelerated plotting - OpenGL (EXPERIMENTAL)" did not work.
I tried the Flatpak on Ubuntu 20.04 running inside Hyper-V on the same machine and it works. But here I connected via IP instead of usb directly.
On Windows USB is used by default, so I tried IP as well, but no change. The Scopy application still exits or hangs after calibration.

With session logging enabled I do not get a crashdump, only the log file. Nothing spectecular there. It ends with:

Any other suggestions what I could test?

Kind regards

Hi!

The initial release candidate for the new Scopy v2.0.0 is now available in the official releases page: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/scopy/releases/tag/v2.0.0-beta-rc1. This candidate includes a lot of new features in Scopy while bringing multiple bug fixes for the ADALM2000 plugin and underlying libm2k library.

Could you give this version a try and reopen the issue if the bug still appears? We tested this new version of Scopy in 2 other similar cases and the problem didn't reappear.

Thank you!
