    Did anyone ever experienced something like this while using Ultrascope ?

    Do you think it could come from the graphic card ?

    Thanks

    The machine I had ultrascope in first had an older Nvidia card and the waveforms all came up looking like triangles, i.e. not enough GPU performance. What GPU do you have in your Ultrascope machine?

    It is a RADEON 4870 AMD ASUS.

    The odd thing is that it worked fine in the first place. Then my main hard drive crashed, replaced it, and then I had this kind of strange display on my Ultrascope. I also had the triangles, that disapeared after reinstalling the drivers…Now I got this.

    Weird, maybe it is a MB driver issue or a GPU driver issue?

    Dan at BM got us up and running:

    For my system, Windows 7, 64-bit using the ATI 4650, we installed this ATI driver:

    We also needed to set the Windows 7 Theme to the standard Aero Theme, all works perfectly now.

    I had a triangle too (not exactly the same as yours, but close). It went off when I put my cheap bnc cables to the trash and bought expensive ones.
