Hi guys,
First, thanks for all of your hard work. Andy hit the nail on the head just above – its been a revelation seeing how polished this software is, and how the hardware can really perform.
Second, I’ve found a few issues and have a couple of suggestions which I better write down before I forget:
* The spectrogram on/off state isn’t restored in the preset.
* Realtime mode limits the Span to 100kHz min. But this limit can be bypassed by going to Sweep mode, reducing the Span, and then selecting Realtime mode.
* Spike crashed on me a couple of times when switching from Real time to Zero Span, but I can’ reproduce that now.
* I think that the 3-D spectrogram should interpolate samples to form a ‘continuous wall’ instead of a ‘row of spikes’
* I’d like to be able to subtract and add traces to/from each other, which could be done in the old software
* I used the old software on a Parallels VM on a Mac and it worked fine – although sometimes the Suppress Errors helped when switching in and out of the VM .
In the same environment Spike starts up and appears to work, but dies part way through a scan with a Device Connectivity Error. I can’t find the Suppress Errors option anywhere. So its not usable for me in that environment.
Cheers,
Roger
