that were recorded during this period. To retrieve these streams, you

will have to specify the time period explicitly with FROM-TIME (and
TO-TIME if necessary), or download all stored data with ALL-FLASH.

This command should not be confused with the SAMPLES/SEC

command.

5.8.11 RESET-FLASH

Syntax: RESET-FLASH

Resets the Flash memory pointers so that both point to the start of

physical memory. The CD24 will start overwriting old data from the
beginning of memory. You can still access these data, if they have not

been overwritten.

5.8.12 ERASEFILE

Syntax: ERASEFILE (interactive)

Clears the entire Flash memory. When you issue this command, the

CD24 will ask you for confirmation. Enter y to confirm.

You will not be able to access any data previously held in Flash
memory after issuing this command.

5.9 Transmission modes

The CD24 operates in one of several transmission modes. These modes
relate to how the unit uses its Flash memory. For more details, see

section 3.2.5, page 40.

5.9.1 DIRECT

Syntax: DIRECT

Instructs the CD24 not to use Flash memory for storage. Instead, all

data are transmitted directly to clients.

5.9.2 FILING

Syntax: FILING

Instructs the CD24 not to transmit blocks to clients automatically, but

to store all digitised data in the Flash memory. The memory is used in
circular fashion, i.e. if it becomes full, incoming blocks begin

overwriting the oldest in memory.
