[600MRG] Spectrum Lab software

[Jay Hainline]

I have been using Spectrum Lab on a Windows 10 64 bit machine for meteor
scatter monitoring. It uses a script to count meteor pings when they occur
and has been running 24/7 with no issues. You might try uninstalling
completely and reinstall. Also maybe look at the FFT options for the
waterfall. Some of the numbers can cause a lot of CPU power to compute if
you are using an older computer.

Subject: [600MRG] Spectrum Lab software

The www.qsl.net web site for DL4YHT's Spectrum Lab was last updated this
month (Oct 17, 2017). The latest software revision is 2.9 b01.
Additionally, the software principle writer states ""Spectrum Lab runs under
Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP (home and professional), Linux/WINE, but obviously
not under Windows Vista. The reason why it doesn't work under "Vista" is
unknown. Since I don't use Vista myself, there's little I can do about this.
Use Linux/WINE, or a virtual PC running XP (inside your shiny power-hogging
Vista machine).""

I have tried running Spectrum Lab in Windows 10. It seems to "sometimes" run
without incident.  But, at times I get random freeze-ups.  When I try to
close the program short error messages appear indicating to the effect the
program stalled on line #nnnnnn. In addition, certain user selected program
options do not seem to respond to that option's START button.  My more
ancient spectrum analysis / waterfall display program "Spectran" works fine.


My questions - Does Spectrum Lab reliably run in Windows 10? Is anyone else
using Windows 10 and Spectrum Lab experiencing the same problems I
experience? All the remaining software on my computer seems to work just
fine, including a very out dated version of the Microsoft Office Suite.
