No, it is NOT obvious at all. You need any of the graphics program, one of
many widely available for between $ 60 and $ 120 bucks. I use
Paint Shop Pro version 5 (all the later versions abandoned the most useful
attribute of the program, being able to save a file in ANY of the many
specific chosen graphic levels).
and I use
Picture Publisher 10*
Anyway, all these programs have a "capture" capability. You get cool edit
spectrogram on the screen, of the size and color you want( F4 = Settings,
tab colors) to set the color scheme, filter to be used, bandwidth, number
of spectral lines, range of sound levels to which the colors are to vayry
over, etc.),
then start your graphics program, and tell it to do the capture NOW.
This drops you into CEP with the spectrum on the screen. The capture is
made into the system clip board and it quickly appears now as a picture in
your graphic program, where you can save it as any type of Graphics file
you want. Most people use JPEG or JPG, but I recommend GIF or PNG
depending on how many colors your screen is set for in the first place.
Some graphics programs use the native capture built into windows:
With the spectrum, again, viewed as you will want it to appear, press
Alt-PrintScreen (upper right of keyboard)
Then enter into your graphics program, choose Edit -> Paste as new image
and follow the above instructions to save the file.
When you get (or if you have) such a program, write me at my web site email
address, and I'll work thru it with you. Hint: What program do you use to
edit photos on your computer?
my best regards,
