Hi,
I have a cheap logic analyser https://hobbycomponents.com/our-brand-exclusives/1000-hobby-components-16-channel-logic-analyser  that has worked fine on Windows 7. Now because the incompetent idiots at Microsoft have withdrawn a distributable it will not run on Windows 10. There is not a lot of help on the Sigrok website (original software) so that leads me to believe it is a dead project.
I wondered if anyone has suggestions for logic analyser software that will run on windows 10 for this device.

Regards,
Bob

Have you seen this web page FAQ.  Links to the files? https://sigrok.org/wiki/Windows

Looks like a Saleae copy, many of those Chinese copies work just fine with their Logic software. I've been using Logic 1.2.17 for a long time.

Laudable though Sigrok's work is, it's really not a patch on Saleae software.

Hi JONW,
I did find the Sigrok page but all that says is download the distributable which Microsoft have removed from their website.

Hi Trastikata,
I did try the Saleae software but it does not find my hardware.

Less useful but also possible to use a virtual machine which has win7 installed. Let say something like Virtualbox, for an instance.

Hmm, it might be irrelevant now, in a rush to prove something I reconnected it. After a few seconds smelt burning and saw smoking and melting cables, I had plugged the ground in to a 5V connection. Too tired to look now, also worried the board has fried as well.

I have been using LA1010 for years I have no problem even with windows 10 frequent updates and excellent support.
If by any chance you have to buy the analyzer again you can consider this product

A regrettable situation. I share similar misfortune, yesterday I had some bad oversight too and a scorching disappointment.
