HOMESCAN


JAGUAR PRO ONLY

By default, JAGUAR creates a preview of the spectrum ("HOMESCAN") on the HOME screen when you tune in to a new frequency. The default scan interval ("SPEED") is 60 seconds, and the user can customise this interval between 2 seconds (the best resolution, the slowest speed) and 60 seconds (a sparse resolution, the fastest speed).

HOMESCAN with the default SPEED 60 creates the skeleton of the offsets found on that frequency. Higher resolutions (lower SPEEDs) can consume a considerable amount of CPU and I/O resources, but if your use a modern PC this SPEED can be decreased for better resolution if you like the feature. In the example below SPEED 30 has been used and HOME display can reveal all the stations (offsets) on this frequency at the same time when playback of this file is just beginning.




HOW TO


HOMESCAN is defined in AUTOMATIC SCAN SETUP panel which can be invoked from STATUSBAR > S button.



When the S button is clicked, the user will see a small control panel where he/she can either quickly disable/enable scans (including HOMESCAN), or modify the SPEED of HOMESCAN.



If you want a more detailed preview for each frequency, you can decrease the SPEED as much as needed.

The color of the S button is green if HOMESCAN has been activated but AUTOSCAN is disabled.
