Ok, by popular demand I will be adding a "Stop Recording Data" feature.
Under the File menu there will be a "Stop Recording Data" menu item.
Selecting this will open a new dialog box. There the user can stop the
recording of data. What will actually happen is WinSDR will zero out the
data it saves to disk. The user will be able to see the data in the
real-time window, only new data will be display. Since the data saved to
disk is zeroed out, the old data will be a flat line. Once the Stop Data
button is pressed the Data Control dialog box will remain open for a maximum
of 60 minutes. After that, WinSDR will close the dialog box and resume
collecting data. This is to prevent this feature from being accidentally
left on.
