Larry,
I've got what may or may not be a stupid question on WinSDR 2.01 which I
have set up with your A/D board and am just really starting to use with my
solar SID receivers.
I'm currently recording 2 channels on local time mode (haven't gotten the
GPS hooked up yet and for SID work the PCs clock seems pretty acceptable)
with 720 min/line. The PC is set to UTC.
When I start to record the start time appears to the left of the trace by
the vertical marker. As the trace continues the present time is displayed at
the bottom of the recording window of the open channel. This, of course,
agrees with the PC's time as displayed at the lower right of my desktop.
Now, when I move the cursor to any point along the trace, a time indication
shows up at the bottom right of the SDR window. If the cursor is placed at
the start of the trace, the indicated time agrees with the start time of the
trace.
event files are produced, I work right from the data files) is stick the
cursor on the start/max and ends of the SID traces and note the
corresponding times. Really convenient.
What seems to be the case however is, while there is complete agreement
between the trace start times and the cursor, as the cursor is moved along
to the right, a discrepancy grows to a max of about 1 hour. The same happens
in the replay mode.
So, is this feature (the cursor time indication) being used correctly by me
and, if that's the case, any idea what's wrong?
Thanks,
Steve Hansen
