buffer instead of going through the usual demodulation process. In this state,
the Current delay display will show the increasing amount of saved signal in
terms of the time delay, while the Pause time display will show the time when
the pausing started. If the paused data length exceeds the Maximum buffer
time, then Pause time will show the oldest buffered data that remains
available for playback.
If there is some data in the pause buffer, the Resume button becomes
available. When activated, it will start playback of the saved signal stream,
while the incoming real-time signal will continue to be saved in the buffer.
The Orig. time display shows the time when the currently played signal was
originally received. Data that have been already played back are automatically
removed from the buffer to make room for the incoming signal, so that
simultaneous buffering and playback can run for unlimited time, effectively
making it possible to listen to the signal with an adjustable delay.
In pause mode, the Progress bar is greyed out and only shows the increasing
amount of data in the buffer. In resume mode, the Progress bar becomes
enabled, making it possible for the user to move its slider and so skip a portion
of the buffered data.
The Skip button discards the entire buffer contents and terminates the pause
mode. The Pause button then becomes enabled again, making it possible to
start another pause session.
During playback of the paused signal, the S-meter, the DDC2 spectrum and all
demodulator controls will relate to the currently played back (buffered) signal.
However, the wideband and DDC1 spectrum displays, and the main frequency
read-out, will all relate to the currently received signal.
