Bug reports and support¶
For assistance you can contact Daniele Paganelli, d paganelli at tainstruments .com.
The Help menu of Misura™ Browser and Live Acquisition contains a Bug report action which will create a zip archive containing useful information for debugging, . It is recommended to attach this archive to any support request.
- If the issue involves running a test or controlling an instrument, the bug report should be created from Live Acquisition while connected to the machine. In this way also instrument logs will be included.
- If the issue involves only data processing and visualization, the bug report can be created from the Misura™ Browser.
- If doubts about measurements are implied, please send also relevant test files.
It is advisable to set the client bug level filter to 0, so all user interface messages will be logged (Logging level option in Preferences).
