Pause Display

Macro: Pause

The Pause button ( ALT+P) freezes the display, Frequency Counter, Sound Level Meter, Voltmeter, all readouts, and any ongoing average; it has no effect on signal input or output. A small red "LED" indicator appears on the Pause button in this state, to draw attention to the reason that display activity has stopped. When Pause is toggled off (unPause), normal display and readout activity resumes.

Pause mode is entered automatically after the Averager accumulates the requested number of frames, except in Exponential or Continuous Peak modes which show continuous averages.

If Pause is entered manually before an average completes, the average will resume normally after unPause. If Pause has been entered automatically due to the completion of an average, then unPause will discard that average and resume normal display activity.

Note: When recording a DDisk file, Pause only stops the display; the recording is not affected. Use the Spacebar to suspend the DDisk recording temporarily.

Macro Notes:

Pause=1 Pauses the display, Pause=0 resumes normal display operation, and Pause=x toggles between the two states.
