mic test doesn't scroll up


 

This probably some configuration with my terminal emulator.
?
When running the mic test I get the bottom row. However, it does not scroll up. So I don't see the history covered on the beta firmware page.
?
I've tried a factory reset. I'm wondering if anyone has this issue and knows how to resolve it.


 

When I use screen in Linux, sometimes the terminal window is slightly out of shape and the mic tests does what you're describing.


 

Hmm...? I'm using securecrt. The window isn't "slightly out of shape". screen does do funky things sometimes to the console (when I use it for other applications). I'll research that and see if it offers any clues. Thanks for the tip.

I have some key mappings also. Must have picked them up from a copy of the session config. I'll mess with this also.?


 

Another thing to check is that you are in vt100 emulation mode, and the screen size is 80x24 so it will scroll correctly. I think securecrt is way overkill for connecting to a local serial port, so you may want to try something simpler if you keep having trouble.?

I have the same problem.? Settings for one mic seemed OK but I changed mic and it worked OK for a recent SOTA - no unfavourable comments on audio quality.? New mic on the way so I will repeat the test when that is ready for use.
Using Putty on Win11.

I am having the same issue with screen on a Mac. I worked around this by using the microphone calibration from the menu on the LCD screen.?

It sure is! However it's useful for other stuff, and then I only need one console application. :) Fortunately for me, securecrt is not the problem.

I believe I've gotten to the bottom of this thanks to your clue about screen size. Same issue with minicom under linux running in gnome terminal. The width doesn't matter. But the number of rows need to be 25 or less. In fact if I resize the terminal window while "mic test" is running, it suddenly starts scrolling at 25 rows or less. At 26 rows and greater, the window clears and only the bottom row of "mic test" is shown.
?
It's interesting that this is the only QMX menu that is dependent on rows of the console in which the terminal emulator is running. Certainly all the menus show only 24 rows, but all the various graphical displays work regardless of my console's configuration with the exception of "mic test".

This is because it is the only QMX screen that scrolls.?

This is a holdover from ancient times (1970's) when physical terminals had 80 cols and 24 rows, including a ubiquitous one called VT100.? The action that caused the terminal to scroll is a newline character on the 24th line.? Or a special escape sequence.? ?And almost all user programs that did character graphics or manipulated a character-based display were written to be compatible with the nuances of the VT100.? And that compatibility has remained to this day.? So if your screen size is not 24 lines long, auto-scrolling doesn't work correctly in programs that rely on it.
