The principle of VAS is as follows: after
the user starts recording, the recorder
starts tracing signal from the microphone.
If the signal is less than the one specified in settings
(VAS level), it is not the sound from the microphone
that is stored in memory, but only the time value
during which the threshold hasn't been exceeded.
When signal level exceeds the preset threshold,
recording of sound into memory starts. When the
signal from the microphone is less than the preset
threshold, after some time (VAS time) the recorder
stops recording sound into memory and only saves
silence duration. That continues until recording
stops.
In case of signal level exceeding the preset
threshold, indication while recording with VAS is
the same as during standard recording (two series
of flashes). In case of signal below threshold
(silence), there is constant faint glow of LED.
When uploading record onto the PC, you can
specify the operations with pauses: save them in
the file uploaded or not. If you save pauses, the
duration of the resulting record will correspond to
the actual one, and the fragments when the signal
was below threshold will be played back silent. If
