I installed Mac OS package on macbook (late 2013). DRSOsc starts to write file but freezes; need to be restarted to restore connection with DRS4 evaluation board (ordered Aug 2011). 

DRSOsc seems broken on OSX 10.9. I'm working on this right now. Some of the problems are related to wxWidgets, so I'm waiting for a new version running stably under OSX 10.9. The compilation problem related to "strlcpy" comes from the fact that OSX 10.9 now comes with its own version of that function, while all previous versions did not. So simply removing strlcpy.h/c from the project fixes that.

There will be a new version of DRSOsc next month which fixes all this problems, so just stay tuned.

 I will have beam test next week :-(

I installed wxWidgets-3.0 using MacPorts (and libusb too). After removing strlcpy and hacking of Makefile I managed to build MacOS application. 

 

When I launch DRSOsc.app/Contents/MacOS/DRSOsc from terminal, I see constantly pouring messages about fonts:

2013-11-19 12:21:22.232 DRSOsc[99520:507] CoreText performance note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using name "Lucida Grande" and got font with PostScript name "LucidaGrande". For best performance, only use PostScript names when calling this API.

...

How may I get rid of them?

 

Another problem: I was not able to save data in binary (*.dat) file. I used DRSOsc settings to set binary format, I specified explicit extension *.dat, tried everything (including hiding extension), but was not able to save in binary format. Do I need to apply some trick? How may I hardcode usage of the binary format?

Thanks,

Andriy.
