New Stuff

Collectively, two UPS guys and two FedEx guys (one driving a Budget rent-a-van...) delivered packages containing a fifty foot static rope, a new climbing helmet, the most comfortable harness I've ever used (and it's really quick to cinch up) and some new base layer clothing. I

It's Safe to Look at the Moon

From the article regarding the up-coming lunar eclipse: Unlike a solar eclipse, it is safe to look at a lunar eclipse – which is when the moon passes through the earth's shadow as cast by the sun. During the total phase, the moon appears to have a dark reddish

More Eye Candy

Check it. The overview graph now has a highlighted section that indicates which portion of the 190 KHz is being viewed in the bottom two graphs, and you can drag the highlighted area around as one would expect. And I ditched the extra device control window and built it into

Frequency Range Selection & Overview

Since I started zero-padding out the fft, the entire 190KHz span can't be viewed at 100% zoom, so I added this very short planar graph at the top which shows the entire span, while the two larger graphs showed a zoomed-in portion of the whole. I need to
