Spectrum Lab software DL4YHF the software saves regular copies of top plot on main window but not plot on plot window. Why could that be?

This is by design in Spectrum Lab.

The automatic capture command saves the main Spectrum Lab window (waterfall/spectrum display). It does not automatically save the separate Watch/Plot window. 

To save the Plot (Watch) window, you must use the separate command:

plot.capture(“filename.jpg”)

or, for saving a single immediate file, use File → Capture plot screen as file from within the Plot window itself.

IMPORTANT: The Plot window must actually be visible on screen, otherwise plot.capture fails. 

If your periodic action currently contains something like:

capture

then only the main window will be saved.

Instead, use something like:

capture

plot.capture(“plot”+str(“YMMDD_hhmm”,now)+”.jpg”)

(or combine both commands in the periodic action).
