The easiest for me to slow down the display is use
CONFIG>SAMPLE REP??????? (1? to 10)?? (does not 'stick'....)
TIA? de Joe

New Ultra FW release
Version V1.4067
Changes:
- Added a MULTI TRACE option to the MULTI BAND menu. Enabling this option will scan the bands in a consecutive traces instead of scanning all bands in one trace. WARNING: at least waterfall does not work in this mode but other problems may emerge
The purpose of this release is to get feedback on this MULTI BAND feature. If you are not interested in this feature there is no need to install this new FW.
- Is it MULTI BAND usable?
- Where does it brake? (it will for sure brake certain features)
Erik,
? My comments on the MULTI=BAND option (now, IMHO, located more consistently under the "FREQUENCY" menu).
1. Reference figure below.? Each band is not given equal display points so some bands (i.e., 100k-30M) become compressed and not useable.? The X-axis annotations also start to overlap and are not useful.? If equal display points cannot be implemented for each band, then maybe a log sweep could be done so the lower frequency bands are not as compressed.? The X-axis annotations might be best displayed as B1|B2|B3 in the example figure as suggested in a previous comment.
2. "MULTI TRACE" might be more appropriately named "Cylce Bands" or something to that effect. "MULTI TRACE" can be confused with the add trace feature, which can also be enabled in the MULT-BAND mode.
3. The "MULT TRACE" option is working but still cycles through each band too fast for me to use.? Adjusting the sweep-time using DISPLAY->SWEEP TIME does not work in MULT-BAND MODE, although SWEEP ACCURACY->PRECISE does slow the sweep down somewhat.? Reducing the RBW from 850k to 30kHz to slow down the sweep resulted in incomplete sweeps in both the MULT-BAND and MULT-TRACE modes. Better would be a manual sweep time option under the MULT-BAND menu or option to use the DISPLAY->SWEEP TIME setting.? An option to pause the sweep between cycles when?"MULT TRACE" is enabled so that markers, screenshots and trace saving can be performed is desirable.
