Please download the most recent version of the program. This problem has been fixed. >The program explicitly should leave the RTS/DTR alone. The program does not use the RTS or DTS lines, but if the K3 has Config Autoinfo set to Auto 1 the K3 could be keyed. I have revised the program to disable the RTS/DTR lines while it is running. This version will be uploaded to my web site tonight. >Once I started a scan I was never able to stop it. The scans/procedures operate under control of a Do Loop and as a result the program is slow to respond while the scan is in progress. Usually, if the user clicks Stop Test/Stop Sweep the procedure will end within several seconds. Sometimes you have to click the button a second time. The procedures are purposely slow because each time the RF Gain or Frequency are incremented it is necessary to wait a couple of seconds for the dBV reading to settle. >Doc doesn't give any help about how to set RF gain, and what the numbers >mean. That would be really helpful. Agreed. I am working on improved Help now and this enhancement will be included. > I think it would be helpful to have the scan automatically add or subtract > the preamp to extend the vertical range of the scan off the passband. I will ask Jack Smith about this. He is the technical expert. Thank you for your observations and suggestions Guy.
