Crash Recovery

The Crash Recovery option adds recovery features that will restore TimeDelay
to the state in which it ended. When you activate Crash Recovery, Time Delay
periodically saves the project file. This allows you to add the project file to the
pdrstart.bat file and fully recover from a crash when the Profile unit restarts. If
TimeDelay is closed or crashes while recording, it will come up recording when
started again; TimeDelay starts recording at the first break in the timecode and
resets the playbacks to their original settings.

Choose

Config | Crash Recovery

to activate the crash recovery functionality.

A check mark next to the menu item indicates that crash recovery is activated.
If you have not saved the project file prior to activating Crash Recovery, the
Save As dialog box appears, prompting you to save the project file.

To ensure that TimeDelay restarts in case of a crash, add the project file name
to the pdrstart.bat file as described in “Launching a Project at Start-up” on page
342.
