Software problems
In case you run into software issues such as crashes or unexpected behavior, please contact the

Support.
To help the support team, please include the log file of the Bode Analyzer Suite in your support
request. By default, the log file is located at:
C:\ProgramData\OMICRON_Lab\BodeAnalyzer\Logs\BodeAnalyzerSuite.log. Note that
C:\ProgramData is typically a hidden folder on your computer. For the Bode 500 the log files can be
accessed via the web-interface (see web-interface description).
Sometimes graphics card driver issues cause problems in rendering the charts correctly. If you
experience chart rendering issues, please update the drivers of your graphics hardware. If this does
not resolve your issues, try switching to software rendering in the options of Bode Analyzer Suite.
