Program Exclusivity

When running the Tektronix Pattern Editor it is suggested that there be no other Windows programs running at the same time in the background. The normal baud rate for operating the program is 9600 baud and other applications that are running at the same time could cause some transferred data to be dropped. To avoid lost data, close any other background applications so that Windows can devote maximum time to the Editor.
