Hi John,
I've been doing some amplifier/DAC measurements with the latest version of REW and am seeing a couple of odd behaviors when making and saving the measurements.
First of all, with beta 37 and 38, REW doesn't save the measurement data when I click "save all". No dialog appears, and no errors appear to be written in the REW logs. Quitting the app presents the "do you want to save" dialog, but clicking "yes" results in the app quitting normally and no data is saved. I have gone back and forth with earlier and later versions, and this seems to be only on betas 37-38 with my OS. Earlier versions (at least beta 34-36) work OK.
Secondly, and this might be my problem, changing sample rates for the test device / signal source between measurements often results in the measurement hanging or timing out, even though data appears to be coming through as shown in the progress indicator graph. This is when doing the normal measure sweep, not the stepped test. Either the measurement will not start, or it hangs at some indeterminate point during the sweep. It does not always time out and return to the user. Hitting "cancel" returns control to the user but the measurement will still fail when repeated. Specifically, I was testing a PreSonus Audiobox and switching between 44.1 and 48 kHz. The initial measurement seems to work OK, but then changing sample rate between tests causes the error. It doesn't matter which sample rate I start with. Quitting REW and then setting a different sample rate on restart seems to work OK. This might be something which is not supported during a session, but I thought it should be mentioned. I am changing the values in REW's preferences, not the OS settings; though changing those to match makes no difference - as we discussed earlier, the Java drivers do not seem to query the OS settings. I see no errors in most of the logs, but one time I got this error:
Feb 18, 2020 2:55:54 PM roomeqwizard.RoomEQ_Wizard main
INFO: REW V5.20 Beta 36 running JRE 1.8.0_202 64-bit on OS X 10.13.6, en, UTF-8

SEVERE: Read audio data timed out
The reason I noticed both of these is that I was running a test and wanted data from both sample rates. When I realized I could quit the app and then change sample rates to get data, I attempted to save the existing data and ran into the other issue. I have tested beta 34 through 38, but can test earlier versions if desired.
OS X 10.13.6 (17G11023), two different computers, different hardware. I also have this OS running on my laptop but haven't tested it there yet, and have 10.14 on another machine, ditto.
