10.1.6 Launching the Recorder
The RR command is used to launch (or kill) the recorder. It also reports the recorder
status:
RR=-1 kills the recorder if active, and invalidates any recorded data.
RR=0 kills the recorder and does nothing if it is not active.
RR=1 launches the recorder, triggered on next BG.
RR=2 launches the recorder with an immediate trigger.
RR=3 launches the recorder with the trigger defined by the RP parameters.
Note that the results of RR=1 and RR=2 can be achieved with RR=3 and the
appropriate RP[N] definitions. The RR=2 and RR=2 commands are used for easy
interface with the most common recorder actions.
As a status report, RR may return the following values:
RR=-1:
No valid data in recorder.
RR=0:
Recorder action is complete and is loaded with valid data.
RR=1, 2 and 3:
Waiting for the completion of RR=1, RR=2 or RR=3
respectively.
The report value (1, 2 or 3) does not indicate if the recorder
is already recording or if it is waiting for a trigger. If this differentiation is
required, use the SR command.
The SR (status register) command details the status of the recorder. SR returns a bit
field, in which bits 16 and 17 may have the following values:
Bit 16
Bit 17
