    Scanner plot intermittent

    Has anyone else had issues with VCM scanner lately? I recently updated about a week ago and started having issues with VCM scanner. During a scan all of the lines on the graph will disappear, and then a moment later, all of my polled and broadcast PIDs will freeze and stop updating (with exception of MPVI inputs). Starting a new scan causes the issue to re-appear almost immediately. The only luck I've had is with closing VCM Scanner and opening a new instance.

    It's frustrating when I'm scanning and suddenly my graphs go blank and I have to restart the application to continue capturing data.

    I updated again last night, but am still experiencing the issue

    What OS?

    I've had some weird issues like that on Windows 7, especially if I put the laptop to sleep with Scanner open and then tries to log when I woke it up

    I have the exact same issue where the channels freeze except the MPVI input. Im just not yet sure if its a particular channel thats causing it. Windows 10, virtual pc running on a macbook. Scanner version 3.2.110

    ive tried to turn off the graph, gauge and chart. I have also tried a range of different channels and it keeps doing the same issue.

    Attached are two logs where the issue has appeared today.

    drive 0003 -home.csv

    Yeah it happens to me just about daily. Sometimes several times in a session. I usually close VCM Scanner and start it again, but occasionally I have to restart the whole PC. Pain in my ass.
