- Of particular interest to many users will be the CPU load (excessive CPU load may cause sluggish behaviour or freezing of the computer), and Audio latency. Apart from DDC bandwidth, CPU load may be minimized by reducing the Demodulator filter length (...
- Note: When measuring sensitivity using SINAD, it is very important that the Audio Filter is enabled and the cut-off frequencies (and for FM measurements, also the de-emphasis) are set according to the specified test conditions. Proper audio filtering ...

In the left-hand portion of the window, you can set up a tree-like structure
made of folders and subfolders:
All these folders and subfolders are user-definable and can be nested
indefinitely, i.e. a subfolder can contain another subfolder, etc. These folders
and subfolders represent memory Groups. You can group frequencies
together using your own arbitrary criteria. To create a new group, use the New
group button at bottom left. If you do this after you have clicked on a particular
subfolder, another subfolder will be created in it.
Inside each subfolder (i.e. group), you can store as many frequencies as you
wish, limited only by your hard drive capacity. You can create a new frequency
by clicking the New frequency button or you can do this using the Store
button under the memory tab (in such case the new frequency will be stored in
the currently selected group, as displayed under the memory tab).
Memory Stepping
Memory stepping makes it possible to step through frequencies stored in the
current user memory file.
To step through groups or the individual memory frequencies, use the left or
right arrow buttons located under the memory tab next to Group or Item drop-
down list controls:
