ProScan: Official Software Thread

[ProScan]

ProScan Version 1.7 Build 2 includes the RadioReference Imports feature, improved Scanner Over IP, and bug fixes.

Supported scanners are the BCD996T, BC796D, BC785D, BC780XLT, BC296D, and the BC250D.

I'm thriving to make this the best Computer Aided Scanning program and suggestions are very much appreciated.

After install 17_2 will run for about 5 min. then locks up. If I click on the app is crashes

You already reported that in #6342. I basically asked for your help in 6345 and 6348 by sending me an email so I could send you test files to see what's going on. I never received any emails from you.

So stop complaining if you don't want to help fix it.

Hey everyone, I am looking for help with my recording feature on Proscan. Everything appears setup correctly, a new row gets created and the row is highlighted during the transmissions, however, my recording time never goes up and there is nothing to play back. What is going on with this? Any ideas?View attachment 98744View attachment 98745

Pardon the basic question, but do you have audio cables connected between the scanner and the PC running ProScan?

 

[JohnGingras]

You are correct sir please understand that I travel extensively for work and not had a lot of time to mess with the software.

 

[JohnGingras]

Pardon the basic question, but do you have audio cables connected between the scanner and the PC running ProScan?

No audio cables

 

[jonwienke]

Unless you have a network connection to a 536 or SDS200, you have to have an analog audio cable with a ground loop isolator connected between the scanner and computer, or you cannot record or monitor scanner audio on the computer. Only the 536 and SDS200 have the ability to stream digital audio directly from the scanner.

 

[JohnGingras]

I don't do any recording just listen while at my PC

 

[jonwienke]

It doesn't matter whether you record or not. If you want the audio in the computer, you need an analog audio cable connection unless you have one of the two models that stream.

 

[JohnGingras]

I have no need for audio in my PC

 

[jonwienke]

Then why even ask about analog audio cables? No scanner of any brand uses analog audio cables for control, or communicating status info. That's all done via serial, USB, or network connections.

 

[JohnGingras]

I'm not asking about audio cables it must be someone else

 

[ezdropper]

I've been playing with my BCD536HP and the demo software for a few days now. Just wanted to say this is a great program. It took me a little while to figure out how to get the audio working, but it's working great now.

That was me and you said you aren't using any.

New question, are you expecting the Audio Recording screen and control in ProScan to control the recording and playback of audio inside the scanner?

Anyone ever have their Pro Scan program freeze up the computer and sometimes just the program just kicks off in the middle of making a favorites list? I've tried re-installing the program and done a lot of cleanup on the computer's files, ran file scan. checked for viruses but so far it won't stay working long enough to get a new favorites list made? Thanks!

On any problem, at least advise on the ProScan version and this type of problem, the OS type
I've been working with about 5 people on this via email. I'm pretty sure it was caused by a Windows Update. So far, I believe the problem is fixed. Look for it in the next release.

 

[crippledchicken]

Yes, I'm running windows 10 didn't realize I wasn't the only one with the problem. I'll keep a check for the update version Thanks!

Has anyone started to experience ProScan locking up or crashing lately? I've had 3 emails reports come. It doesn't appear to be version specific. 1 report was on ver. 17.0 (using NET Framework 2.0) . I'm suspecting a Windows Update broke it. I have isolated the problem to one specific area thanks to the folks that emailed me and sent me back test data. I redid that area and received back favorable results.

Try this version 17.2.3. Let me know if this one fixes the issue.

This file also includes the following:

• Changed - UID Logging grid column UID After Lookup (Editable) automatically updates the UID Lookup file.
• Changed - Button "Event Viewer" changed to "Generate Bug Report" that generates more debug info.

Mine has been doing just that all day. Keeps crashing and freezing. It 17.2.2

I have another question, what does the "find from data base and select rows" supposed to do in the unit ID logging tab. I click on it and nothing happens.

Edit ***I Just read your last post about the new version 17.2.3

Somethings not right. I'll look at this before the next release.

That file was before I found and fixed the bug so that file was taken offline.

I also, have the 17.2.2 version I clicked on the link but it still says 17.2.2 unless, it's been upgraded but just not the version number yet.

@ProScan already addressed that in a reply to you. The most recent test version is 17.3.0, but it is not yet publicly available. If you still have a bug or issue that hasn't already been recently acknowledged in this thread, send an email per ProScan's instructions in the post just above yours.
