How about "freeze"?

"Saved", from my previous paragraph, might be the answer - perhaps
statistics need a button to "disconnect" the window from the capture, so
that changes to the capture (closing it, re-filtering it, changing
preferences, etc.) won't affect it.

Unfortunately, "Save" would probably not be very intuitive, as people
would (quite reasonably) expect that to mean "save to a file". I'm not
sure what would be the obvious way to say "don't update this window if I
change something" ("disconnect" probably isn't it, either).
