DSL_StatScope v1.0 - CRC vs HEC & FEC
Hi TerTech,

My test only starts at midnight so i can still
play around with 'DSL_StatScope v1.0' a bit,
after that i'll leave it alone doing it's job.



Here are my preliminary observations, something
may very well have slept through... Well, you've
brought the SpeedTouch owners a unique piece
of work and i can only think of cosmetic aspects.

 •The CRC dots being critical they should have
   priority over the HEC and FEC dots (in this
   order) which are presently masking it. See my
   animated .GIF from above. This was captured
   using the [Load] option (playback) after the
   log file was copied to my everyday machine.

 •When trying to play back a tiny log file with
   only a few time-slice records nothing happened
   and there was no error message to explain why
   but maybe i was supposed to restart 'DSS' 1st;
   i even thought it was about 8.3 DOS filenames.

 •You can make the window's width two characters
   less using "DS" (DownStream) instead of "D/L"
   (DownLoad) and "US" (UpStream) instead of "U/L"
   (UpLoad).

 •This should have been called v1.25 or something:
   some persons won't even try it when it's a first
   release. I say the loss is theirs, though!

 •Perhaps i didn't find it but there should be a hidden
   "easter egg" with Santa's face in it somewhere!...

In any case, thank you for this precious opportunity!






Note:

I was hungry late last night so i started cooking
something to eat (the CRC burst did confirm it).

Now, imagine if i conducted such a test with help
from the powerful averaging feature for a week!

O.K makes sense. I usually just enable one error stat at a time because it is too crowded to see everything.

The intent was that either you were doing a Telnet capture or playing back a file. I prevent a file being loaded when a Telnet session is active; I thought I made it allow a file load after a Telnet session was stopped. It looks like it doesn't allow a file load if a Telnet session had been run, even if it was stopped. You will have to restart the program to load a file if you had a Telnet session.

It's UpLink and DownLink ( I'm a satellite guy ). You're right though about giving more room to the U/L SNRM and D/L SNRM labels.

It's the first release. If I counted every version that I didn't release it would be like v25. The first number is a major release and will increment with new features or some incompatibility with previous releases. The second number is a minor release with just cosmetic changes that is still compatible with previous versions of the same major release number. For example if the log file format changed that would need a new major release number.

 •Perhaps i didn't find it but there should be a hidden
   "easter egg" with Santa's face in it somewhere!...
Keep looking.
