Status Bar
The Status Bar is located at the bottom of the main display window. Depending on the
current activity, the bar can be divided into as many as four segments.
Recording
Progress
When you begin recording on an Avalanche or SASTracer Analyzer, the left-most
segment of the Status Bar displays a recording Progress Indicator:
As recording progresses, the Progress Indicator changes to reflect the recording
progress graphically:
• In the Progress Indicator, a black vertical line illustrates the location of
the Trigger position you selected in Recording Options.
— Pre-Trigger progress is displayed in the field to the left of the
Trigger Position.
— When the Trigger position is reached, the progress indicator
wiggles as it waits for the Trigger.
— After the Trigger occurs, the field to the right of the Trigger fills in
the post-Trigger color specified in the Display Options.
— When recording is complete, the upper half of the progress
indicator fills in white, indicating the progress of the data upload
to the host computer.
You should be aware of two exceptional conditions:
• If a Trigger event occurs during the before-Trigger recording, the
before-Trigger color changes to the after-Trigger color to indicate that
not all the expected data was recorded pre-Trigger.
• When you click Stop before or after a Trigger event, the Progress Bar
adjusts to begin uploading the most recently recorded data.
• If you wish to abort an upload that is in progress, click the Stop button
again.
The Progress Bar fills with color in proportion to the specified size and actual rate at which
the hardware is writing and reading the recording memory. However, the progress
indicator is normalized to fill the space within the Status Bar.
