Well things are moving pretty fast. The application is almost finished, just cleaning and polishing up. I have put up a video at my new website taken with camtasia. Thing is the program is much more responsive than it seems. Camtasiia slows things down by at least a factor of 10! The

Ok, I have run into a few logistics issues that I hope someone can assist with. In order for the P3 to control the K3 it must maintain communications via a serial link. Thus one needs to use a com port sharing program such as LP-Bridge or LP-Bridge 2. This works fine within the design parameters

No bug, just forgot the leading 0 on the ref level. Plan for the markers in the first release: When you click on the marker button, it will turn red. You can then use the mouse to click on the spectrum at any point which will place a mark. Clicking again on the button will change it to normal

Well, I believe I've answered your twice-asked question. Here is further elaboration. You have made a number of faulty deductions: e.g. (1) assuming I don't like the way it works, [re the P3; not true]; (2) assuming that the LP-Pan that seems to work the way you want it to,' [not true]; (3)

I was curious why you didn't mention this at first -- I was trying to figure your intent in your design. I used to work with frame grabbers a long time ago (late 1980s) on very expensive graphics equipment (over $100K per screen). A frame grabber back then was a $20,000 option. Yes, I know

There are not too many frame grabbers out there which support VGA. The one I am using is an Avermedia Game Broadcaster HD PCIe board. It has VGA in and HDMI as well. It will support up to 1920x1080x60 with no flicker, delays etc. It costs around $140. Of course once you add up the
