I'm having the same exact issue. The same USB disconnected error. I've tried everything suggested on this particular post and nothing seems to work. The only difference I'm seeing is my error doesn't occur in the same spot. It's different every time. Sometimes after 5 pulses. Sometimes after 16 pulses. I do suspect it is a memory issue with the computer since there is a lot of computer information exchange during the test. That being said, I also tried a brand new "powered" usb hub just in case the device was drawing too much power to allow the program to work properly. No difference. Short of getting a new computer, I'm out of ideas. I'm assuming usb 2.0 which is what my computer runs might just not be fast enough for the real time digital exchange. Maybe usb 3.0 will fare better results. Just an idea. Any other ideas?
