Hi,

What is the significance of the sounds that the PFP program makes when
taking measurements? Normally there are two clicks one at the
beginning and one at the end of each measurement. The first click
always happens, but sometimes (maybe 2% of the time) the second
finishing click doesn't happen. It looks like the measurement did
occur, but I always backup the cursor and remeasure that patch
whenever the second sound doesn't happen.

What does this mean?

Thanks, Derek

Mine has always acted that way (two clicks - sometimes only one). As for a
glitch in the sound system, the spectro is the only peripheral that seems to
be affected. Running XP Pro SP2. Never been a problem but it's interesting
to know that it should NOT work that way - I'll have to do some tweaking!!

i'm using Panther and i have heard all the clicking sounds (like a 
shutter on a camera) during my patch readings. no issues  have come up 
so far while using it.

Yes this is on Windows, but I doubt its a glitch in the sound system.
No other application has problems with the sound. I just wanted to
know if the lack of the second sound was indicative of an improper
patch reading.
