Should be uploaded to www.espyonard.com this week - Merry Christmas
1. NEW FASTER BAND SCOPE MK VII
There are several new advances re. the new Band Scope. the sweep speed is significantly faster.
a. SWEEP SET-UP TIME REDUCTION
In this upgrade the time it takes to setup a new Sweep has been reduced by >70% . This is a very significant time reduction. The new faster set-up is ONLY available when using the 'FAST SETTINGS' window to enter the required details. Select the appropriate buttons, make your choices, and then click 'EXECUTE'. After a few seconds the new sweep will start.
b. SAVING and RESTORING SWEEP SETTINGS
Previously the User could save and retrieve only ONE sweep setting.
There are now TWENTY 'Sweep Memory' options, individually numbered.
Sweep Memories can also be restored from an inter-active LIST, displaying all saved Sweep data, with a single mouse click.
If the 'FULL SWEEP MEMORY LIST button is clicked, the details of ALL 20 Sweep Memories are displayed in the inter-active list, next to the FAST window. Right-Click the button to 'toggle' the List font size.
2. BAND SCOPE RESET AND TIMING ADJUSTMENTS
The NEW 'FAST SETTINGS' push the AR-DV1, P.C. and Serial Communication speeds close to their absolute limits.
Right clicking the YELLOW screen on the main interface opens the 'SETTINGS WINDOW'.
A new button has been added at the bottom 'BAND SCOPE RESET'.
If when requested the Band Scope does not open, or opens and almost immediately closes, clicking the 'BAND SCOPE RESET' button will force the Scope to load a set of standard settings, which cures any problems.
3. BAND SCOPE AUTO 'Q'
Prior to this update the Auto 'Q' Band Scope window contents were cleared automatically whenever it closed. Due to the introduction of the new Sweep Memories this was not convenient and no longer occurs, so Users still have access to the previous data that was saved in it. As before there is a button that if selected clears the entire list, and one that allows the removal of individual lines if required.
4. INSTANT ACCESS TO SAVED SCOPE 'Q' FREQUENCIES
If you right-click the 'Q' button on the BAND SCOPE, the present Frequency details are transferred and appear in the 'Q' Window. When the SCOPE is closed, you can access this inter-active list at any time by right-clicking the 'Q-DB' button on the Main window. Selecting any Frequency line instantly send its details to the AR-DV1 for instant monitoring.
