Users have noticed that the STOP button in the ‘wobb’ window gets grayed out sporadically.  When this happens, it appears that you cannot stop the process and proceed with the Acquisition.  This is not true.  I show below the pull down Sub Menu called User Specific Commands, which itself can be accessed from the main […]
