SASLab Manual


Main window : Tools > Cursor linkage between Instances


In order to enable quantitative comparisons between different sound files, the measurement cursors of several program instances can be linked.



For this purpose, several instances of the SASLab Pro software can be operated at the same time (e.g. by executing the command File > New Instance).

When the desired dialog items are selected and several instances of SASLab Pro are running, the corresponding cursors will move simultaneously in all instances where this cursor linkage option has been activated.
