wt3 help

[arlis_1957@yahoo.com]

installed wt3 on my win7 machine a bit ago and its giving me a fit. when i run the test lesds test it say it cant because the load is more then 1 ohm. when i installed it on the same comp with xppro, it worked like a dream. calibration test with 1k ohm resistor i shows 4k!

Have you downloaded the most current version on WT3 from DAYTON.COM?

Did the trick for me when I moved to Win7.

[arlis_1957@yahoo.com]

now im thinking it wont work with 64 bit! great!

I've had that same error before. I don't know for certain what corrected it, but I went through the whole installation/setup process and it cleared up. You need to make sure that you follow the directions for the specific version of Windows you're using.

I'm just running Version 1.5.0, works for me in Win7 just fine.

Hi:

Running version 2.0.0 in Windows 7 x32 (32-bit). It's run pretty much flawlessly since I installed it.

I find mine won't give a good reading unless it's had a full minute to warm up.
Also check the leads, inside the case. Mine came through with a cold solder joint on one that I had to fix before it would work.

[arlis_1957@yahoo.com]

the first one i got was dead in the water. this one worked fine when asked under winxp. i suspect that i plugged it in before the software intall completion and windows asumed it was a speaker and installed drivers in a flash. tomarrow i will restore it to an earlier time and try again.

[arlis_1957@yahoo.com]

i ran system restore to the 3rd and reinstalled and made the correct setting in windows. same results. is it possible that it being plugged into a hub could be the problem? it is a powered hub.

[johnnyrichards]

Arlis, that is possible. There has been some talk about using the same USB port every time you use the WT3, and if there are other things plugged into the hub... maybe.

Also, what is this version 2 software of which we speak? Where is the download link? Is this a free upgrade?

[johnnyrichards]

OK, I found the upgrade page and I don't know if the $20 is worth it (to me for basically rub and buzz detection?) plus I do not know what constitutes proof of purchase on the internet... Mine was also purchased before Jan 1, 2011 so does that mean I cannot upgrade to the newest version anyway? Hmmm.... seems a new thread is in order for these questions.

[johnnyrichards]

I mean, the rub and buzz feature is a killer inclusion, but I am not in a production environment. The LCR measurement capability in the new version though...

If it ever warms up you will be.

I contacted Sharon @ support@trueaudio.com gave her my customer no. at Partsexpress and she emailed the latest version no charge. WT III never worked right for me on the PC it was installed on, this cured everything ( not my allergies ) and appears to give repeatable readings very quickly.
