Re: Pico Diagnostics Compression test

Hello Frank and thank you for the feedback. I have previously registered this as a bug using this exact same software.(6.10.11) I am not sure why the software is indicating "No update available" as we now have version 6.10.16.2 incorporating Pico Diagnostics version 1.7.4 build 20 Would it be possib...
