Digital BW, The Print

Maybe it was a bug in a recent build but I had problems using the
Spyderprint3 measure mode.  It's fine for the Paul Roark 21 step step
wedges but I have a 60 patch target and it was losing data after 30
something patches- I had to measure in two batches.

If it's working right and there's no limit to the number of patches
you can measure in measure mode you should be fine- you'll just get a
.txt file with L data you can dump into a spreadsheet or elsewhere.
