Opening New TunerPro Instance BUG?

[EagleMark]

There may be an issue with your adx and the PE not working... start a thread and we will look at it.


I don't know if this issue is specific to Windows 7 Your having problems in XP so for now it does not look like it's the PC operating sytem issue.

But you are failing the seperator test, I have opened a new instance and still failed! Open TP and change your ADX to another file, Load it, do not get it from recent files. Try test, if it fails open new instance, try test with whatever adx comes up, if it fails load new adx, try seperater test. I have had to go this far to pass before. Then close old instance of TP. Seperator test should still pass, load your normal adx, still should work. It should now be the only TP open, close it and when you open it next time seperater test will work...

If I figure an easier way I will sure post it. But let me tell you how much better my TP works when I have one open that passes this test!!! When I am setting up data tracing files they instantly work! Before, even if I saved ADX and XDF they would still not work until I closed TP and opened it again, make a change and they would not work until I closed TP and opened it again.

So there's a lot more to this then simply the Seperater not working properly! That is just how I found this problem...

I tried again, still not working. Tried a diffrent ADX, actually I tried every one I had, all failed. I went to tunerpro and downloaded a few more random ones and tried them. They didnt pass this test either. I think I opened like 100 diffrent instances.
So what now?
Is there anyone else out there running tunerpro on windows XP? If you can do this test please post up if you pass or fail.

That is strange? I can always make one work... then it will work forever until I open an new instance and do some work, if I am careful I test one and if it works I close the other, or vice versa...

Well I take that back, I failed on 2 TunerPros today? closed first and opened a third from second one and loaded a ADX file I have not used in a long time and the seperator test pasted!

I have narrowed it down to somehow TunerPro has a cache of files, you can see it when you load aqcusistion file. Here is a quote of what happened to me last couple days...

Recently I made changes to an ADX file and next time I opened they were not there, so I made the changes again, saved as new file name still not there? Made changes again, saved with another file name, reloaded, still not there? got fed up and opened in EditPad, same as Notpad but better for CGI scripts I work on... and the changes were there? Closed all programs restarted computer opened TunerPro loaded ADX file changes not there???????

I have now narrowed down the issue to something in software they saves ADX file in cache or? so I changed my setting in TunerPro Tools, Preferences, Data Aqusition and UNCHECKED the box for load last ADX at startup. Now when I start TunerPro there is no last adx file and I have to load one. So I open it and change is not there?

I open it in EditPad and the change is there? Close EditPad and open TP now with no last ADX file loaded at startup so I have to load one but don't see the little blue thing at bottom loading it? Check adx and change is not there? Open in EditPad and change is there? So somewhere in TunerPro it has a cache of ADX files, you can see recently used adx files when choosing to load ADX file.

So I don't know?

This would be a pain to set up but...

You could run a separate copy of Windows on your pc. You would run the second copy of TurnerPro in the second copy of windows. Both copies of Windows would run at the "same" time. The second copy of windows appears in a window. Since you would be running the second copy of Turnerpro in a virtual box, there wouldn't be any interference between the copies of Turnerpro.

Get Virtual Box. Install Windows in the virtual box.

It's not as bad to use as trying to understand all the technical terminalogy on the web page.

Although a good idea I have enough issues with one Windows!!!!!

I have dasktop and laptop so I can run two TunerPro RT. the new instance really helps when working on 2 adx files and can cut and paste from one to another, same with XDF. But as my last post decribes, I don't think this is a new instance issue anymore? I think it is an adx issue and some kinf or virtual memory used by TP. Because the changes are there in notspad, but when I open same file in TP they are not?

Mark at TP emailed me as to location of ADX and XDF files stored and they should not be in program file with TP. Mine are not.

There was some difficulty I ran across when you took the opportunity inside of TurnerPro to save an adx file with a new name. I'd expect TurnerPro to continue working with the new name, but it continued working with the old name & the changes made were lost.

This may have had something to do with being in monitor. Adding a new line of data. Going to adx edit. Making some changes to color of line. Then, changing the name. Happened twice.

Of course, I stopped using save as a new name in TurnerPro rt 5 for adx.

I've been meaning on trying to narrow this down.
