Title: psdata files not opening.
Post by crucible on Nov 27^th, 2013 at 1:04am

Hi guys,

Hope this post is in the correct thread, if not apologies.

Im new on here and was just wondering if it is possible to view psdata captures on an android tablet?as none of the captures i attempt to open are working. Do I need pico software and windows based pc to view, or anyone know a way around or an app that may work?

thanks in advance.

Yes on both counts.

The PicoScope software is free for download. Be sure to get the automotive version.

Nothing wrong on this end. I assume you have opened psdata files here in the past. How exactly are you attempting to open them and what happens when you do?

The best way to open them:

1. Save the file to your PC.
2. Open PicoScope and say yes to demo if your scope is not plugged in.
3. Using file/open within PicoScope browse to the file you saved and open it.

You may occasionally run across a psdata file posted here by someone that has not read this:

and created a toxic file name using symbols. Those will not open.
