@haslinghuis Looking at the codebase, the "corruption" is most likely not actual data corruption but rather a timing/initialization issue. Here's what I found:
Root Cause Analysis
Primary cause: Uninitialized state, not corruption
The dataBuffer is initialized with curve: null:
dataBuffer = {
fieldIndex: 0,
curve: null, // Initially null
fieldName: null,
};The curve property is only set when plotSpectrum() is called:
this.plotSpectrum = function (fieldIndex, curve, fieldName) {
dataBuffer.fieldIndex = fieldIndex;
dataBuffer.curve = curve; // Set from parameter
dataBuffer.fieldName = fieldName;
// ...
};The issue occurs when:
- User changes spectrum type before any graph data has been plotted
dataBuffer.curveis stillnull(its initial value)- The spectrum type change handler detects
!dataBuffer.curveand assumes "corruption" - It restores from
GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBufferwhich should have valid data
Why This Happens
From my analysis, there are no other code paths that reset or corrupt dataBuffer. The check is essentially a defensive measure against this timing scenario:
- User opens the spectrum analyzer
- User immediately changes spectrum type before any field is selected/plotted
plotSpectrum()hasn't been called yet, socurveis stillnull- The change handler treats this as corruption and restores from the calc module's backup
This is good defensive programming - it ensures the spectrum analyzer can recover even when users interact with controls before the initial data load completes.
Alternative scenarios (less likely):
- Rapid UI interactions causing race conditions
- Error states preventing
plotSpectrum()from being called - Async operations interfering with the data flow
The current fix is appropriate as it provides a safety net for these edge cases.

fieldName : this._dataBuffer.fieldName,
fftLength : fftLength,
fftOutput : fftOutput,
maxNoiseIdx : maxNoiseIdx,
blackBoxRate : this._blackBoxRate,
};Summary:
The GraphSpectrumCalc object holds internal state including _dataBuffer which contains fieldIndex, curve, and fieldName. The fftData objects returned by various data loading functions include references to these _dataBuffer fields. This suggests that dataBuffer in FlightLogAnalyser is linked to GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer. Corruption of dataBuffer could be related to how _dataBuffer is managed or updated inside GraphSpectrumCalc.
Relevant snippet from src/graph_spectrum.js (lines ~150-190)
// Inside FlightLogAnalyser constructor
let dataBuffer = {
fieldIndex: 0,
curve: null,
fieldName: null,
};
...
this.plotSpectrum = function (fieldIndex, curve, fieldName) {
// Store the data pointers
dataBuffer.fieldIndex = fieldIndex;
dataBuffer.curve = curve;
dataBuffer.fieldName = fieldName;
// Detect change of selected field.... reload and redraw required.
if (fftData == null || fieldIndex != fftData.fieldIndex || dataReload) {
dataReload = false;
dataLoad();
GraphSpectrumPlot.setData(fftData, userSettings.spectrumType);
}
that.draw(); // draw the analyser on the canvas....
};
...

.change(function () {
const optionSelected = parseInt(spectrumTypeElem.val(), 10);
if (optionSelected != userSettings.spectrumType) {
userSettings.spectrumType = optionSelected;
saveOneUserSetting("spectrumType", userSettings.spectrumType);
// Restore dataBuffer if it was corrupted
if (!dataBuffer.curve) {
dataBuffer.curve = GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer.curve;
dataBuffer.fieldName = GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer.fieldName;
dataBuffer.fieldIndex = GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer.fieldIndex;
console.warn("The dataBuffer was corrupted (set to default zeroes) in FlightLogAnalyser.spectrumTypeElem.change event");
}
// Recalculate the data, for the same curve than now, and draw it
dataReload = true;
that.plotSpectrum(
dataBuffer.fieldIndex,
dataBuffer.curve,
dataBuffer.fieldName,
);
}Summary:
dataBuffer is a local object in FlightLogAnalyser that stores the current field index, curve, and field name. It is updated in plotSpectrum. When the spectrum type changes, if dataBuffer.curve is falsy (indicating possible corruption or reset), it is restored from GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer. This indicates that dataBuffer can become corrupted or reset, and the code attempts to recover it from the internal _dataBuffer of GraphSpectrumCalc.
Relevant snippet from src/pref_storage.js (lines 6-63)
export function PrefStorage(keyPrefix) {
let LOCALSTORAGE = 0,
CHROME_STORAGE_LOCAL = 1,
mode;
this.get = function (name, onGet) {
name = keyPrefix + name;
switch (mode) {
case LOCALSTORAGE:
var parsed = null;
try {
parsed = JSON.parse(window.localStorage[name]);
} catch (e) {}
onGet(parsed);
break;
case CHROME_STORAGE_LOCAL:
chrome.storage.local.get(name, function (data) {
onGet(data[name]);
});
break;
}
};
this.set = function (name, value) {
name = keyPrefix + name;
switch (mode) {
case LOCALSTORAGE:
window.localStorage[name] = JSON.stringify(value);
break;
case CHROME_STORAGE_LOCAL:
var data = {};
data[name] = value;
chrome.storage.local.set(data);
break;
}
};
if (window.chrome && window.chrome.storage && window.chrome.storage.local) {
mode = CHROME_STORAGE_LOCAL;
} else {
mode = LOCALSTORAGE;
}
keyPrefix = keyPrefix || "";
}Summary:
PrefStorage is used in FlightLogAnalyser to save and retrieve user settings asynchronously. This could indirectly affect dataBuffer if user settings influence data loading or spectrum type, but it does not directly manipulate dataBuffer.
Relevant snippet from src/spectrum-exporter.js (lines 13-42)
export function SpectrumExporter(fftData, opts = {}) {
opts = _.merge(
{
columnDelimiter: ",",
quoteStrings: true,
},
opts,

worker.onmessage = (event) => {
success(event.data);
worker.terminate();
};
worker.postMessage({fftOutput: fftData.fftOutput,
blackBoxRate: fftData.blackBoxRate,
opts: opts});
}
return {
dump: dump,
};
}Summary:
SpectrumExporter uses fftData to export spectrum data asynchronously via a web worker. This relates to fftData but does not directly affect dataBuffer.
Relevant snippet from src/graph_spectrum_plot.js (lines 31-51)
export const GraphSpectrumPlot = window.GraphSpectrumPlot || {

},
_importedSpectrumsData: [],
};Summary:
GraphSpectrumPlot holds internal state related to the spectrum plot including _fftData. This is set in FlightLogAnalyser after data loading. It does not directly manipulate dataBuffer but is part of the data flow.
Summary of relevant context for dataBuffer corruption:
dataBufferinFlightLogAnalyseris a local object holding references to the current field index, curve, and field name.- It is updated in
plotSpectrumand used to load data viaGraphSpectrumCalc. GraphSpectrumCalchas an internal_dataBufferwith similar structure.- When spectrum type changes, if
dataBuffer.curveis falsy (indicating corruption or reset), it is restored fromGraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer. - The root cause of
dataBuffercorruption could be related to howGraphSpectrumCalc._dataBufferis managed or howplotSpectrumis called. - No direct error handling or validation is shown for
dataBufferoutside the spectrum type change event. - User settings and asynchronous storage via
PrefStoragemay indirectly affect data loading anddataBuffer. - The
fftDataobject returned fromGraphSpectrumCalcfunctions references_dataBufferfields, linking the data flow.
This context is relevant to investigate potential root causes of dataBuffer corruption in src/graph_spectrum.js.

This reveals a much more complex corruption mechanism. You've found cross-contamination rather than simple reset-to-defaults. Let me investigate this deeper: Based on your description, this suggests: Cross-Contamination Bug AnalysisThe Problem Pattern
Potential Root Causes
Recommended SolutionYes, you should always restore spectrumTypeElem.change(function() {
let optionSelected = parseInt(spectrumTypeElem.val(), 10);
if (optionSelected != userSettings.spectrumType) {
userSettings.spectrumType = optionSelected;
saveOneUserSetting("spectrumType", userSettings.spectrumType);

The cross-contamination suggests there's some shared state or reference issue that's harder to track down than the original null curve bug. Always restoring from the known-good backup is the most robust solution. 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 35044 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 4155 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 3526 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 1502 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 138 @demvlad Now I understand the cross-contamination bug! This is much more complex than the original null curve issue. Let me explain what's happening: Root Cause AnalysisField Index Mapping ContextFrom the code analysis, I can see that:
The Cross-Contamination MechanismThe bug occurs because there's interference between the drawing loop and spectrum type changes:
The Contamination PatternThe drawing loop is continuously calling Recommended Solution: Always RestoreYes, you absolutely should always restore spectrumTypeElem.change(function() {
let optionSelected = parseInt(spectrumTypeElem.val(), 10);
if (optionSelected != userSettings.spectrumType) {
userSettings.spectrumType = optionSelected;
saveOneUserSetting("spectrumType", userSettings.spectrumType);
// ALWAYS restore dataBuffer to ensure consistency
// This prevents both null curve AND cross-contamination bugs
if (GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer.curve) {
dataBuffer.curve = GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer.curve;
dataBuffer.fieldName = GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer.fieldName;
dataBuffer.fieldIndex = GraphSpectrumCalc._dataBuffer.fieldIndex;
console.log("Restored dataBuffer for spectrum type change");

return; // Don't proceed if no valid backup
}
dataReload = true;
that.plotSpectrum(
dataBuffer.fieldIndex,
dataBuffer.curve,
dataBuffer.fieldName,
);
}
});Why Always Restore is the Right Solution
This approach transforms your spectrum type changes from "hope the timing works" to "always use the correct, intended field data." It's robust defensive programming that handles the inherent race condition between the drawing loop and user interactions. The always-restore strategy is the most reliable solution for this architecture! 🎯 |

Thank you for the correction - it's important to get the facts right! 🙏 |

The debug shows, that SpectrumCalc._dataBuff is valid while spectrumAnalyzer.dataBuff is wrong (is set to default zero values) during spectrum type change handler call.
Therefore it possible to use these properly data to restore corrupted data buffer.
This is random bug. I've checked this code when the bug was happened.

The spectrum allways must update properly
