5.6.5 Timed Record
The unit can be set to start recording at a specific time and
date and stop recording at a specific time and date. To do this
check the Start Time checkbox and set the Date and Time
below it. If only the Start Time is checked this will act like a
delayed record start. If you want the recording to stop at a
specific time and date check the Stop Time check box and set the Date and Time below it. Note that the stop
time needs to be greater than the start time and the start time needs to be greater than the current time. If
you want the recording to start and stop on a daily basis check the Daily checkbox and the stop and start
time dates will be ignored and the unit will start and stop recording every day at the specified times .
There are more setup options on the second setup page accessed via the setup button.
5.6.6 Split Files
This option allows the user to split recorded data files
automatically into a sequence of smaller files. Files can be
split into 1 to 24 hour segments. At
each time point the current data file
is closed and a new file is opened. A
date time stamp is appended to the file name. This way
smaller files can be quickly downloaded (over the Ethernet)
if required. Select the split files time from the drop down
menu from 1 to 24 hours.
To disable Split Files
– select NEVER.
