Cannot pause spectrogram on Spike controlling BB60C

[Gary]

I’ve been using the BB60C with great results. One issue I’ve come across is that I cannot pause the spectrogram (either 2D or 3D). When I uncheck the “Update” box in “Traces”, the spectral trace pauses, but the spectrogram keeps going. Is there any way to get the spectrogram to pause as well?
I’m using an Asus ROG laptop running Windows 10 Home. I’m currently running Spike version 3.1.7. My BB60C is running firmware 6, if that is important.

Hi Gary,

You can stop the spectrogram by single stepping the measurements, by pressing the “Single” button in the toolbar. This will stop both the sweep and spectrogram. There is no way currently to stop just the spectrogram.

Also, keep an eye out in the next 2 weeks for version 3.1.8 where we will have revisited the spectrogram display, giving you the ability to scroll through past history (up to several thousand traces) and view the amplitude/frequency/time of any event in the spectrogram.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Regards,
Andrew

That did it! Thank you! I saved my pennies for two years to get one of these, and it’s been a very worthwhile purchase. I’ll be looking forward to the next version of the software.

P.S. I’d like to recommend that the spectrogram also be paused when unchecking the “Update” box.
