Printing
Every sweep can be printed for archiving and
presentations. Click on Print in the file menu. A
dialog box will pop up allowing you to specify several
settings for printing. You can specify which sweeps to
print (including calculated ones), the printer to print to
(and its configuration), the margins on the paper (so
you can print on a certain part of the paper), paper
orientation, how many pages for the spectrum (so you
can print it out like a banner) and whether to print
each selected sweep separately or combined into one
print-out.
Each individual sweep is shown by when it was actually performed (date, starting time and
finishing time).
Options
Several aspects of the spectrum scope can be customised.
The first is the sweep range specification, you can choose either start and stop frequencies,
or the centre frequency and the width of the sweep. Select the appropriate method in the
dialog box.
You can set up WiNRADiO to mute the audio or not when it starts a sweep. It will mute the
audio if Mute while sweeping is checked.
If Continuous sweeping is checked, when the sweeper gets to the end of a sweep, it will
start a new sweep immediately until this option is unchecked or you click on the Stop
button.
The ‘Sweep on’ list allows you to specify which receiver card should be used for sweeping.
The list shows all currently available receiver cards.
‘VisiTune manual refresh’, when enabled, forces updating of the spectrum display under the
frequency cursor (thus allowing a ‘manual sweep’ with the mouse if the left mouse button is
held down).
The ‘Previous sweeps’ section allows you to show a certain number of sweeps that were
done prior to the most recent. You can specify how many to show and the colour for each of
them.
You can also control the colour of the current sweep, calculated sweeps and all the actual
sweeps. By default, only the current, maximum and exponential average sweeps are visible.
To see a sweep, select it (or several) from the list and choose a colour to show the sweep(s)
in. To hide a sweep, select invisible at the top of the colour list.
Finally, you can specify how many sweeps to use for the ‘Rectangular average’ calculated
sweep and the weighting factor for the ‘Exponential average’ sweep.
