If you experience an engine problem and would like a snap shot of your engine's parameters for any
reason, place the Data Recorder into the "BURST" mode. With only the UBG-16 connected to the Data
Recorder, data will be stored every 5 seconds. Note: If you leave the Data Recorder in the "BURST" mode
for a long period of time, you will use up a large portion of the available memory recording this one event.
The "DOWNLOAD" position on the Control Switch is used to download data from the Data Recorder's
memory to a P.C. The use of this switch position will be covered later in this manual.

Any time the Data Recorder is storing data to its internal memory, the Record Light
will come on. This light is only on for the time it take to receive data from the activated
channels (i.e., with only one channel activated and the UBG-16 connected to that channel,
the Record Light will come on for 5 seconds each time data is recorded). In the "BURST" mode data is
being recorded continuously and the Record Light will be on all the time.

Data is stored into the Data Recorder's internal memory in a ring or loop fashion. Once the last
memory cell is used, the Data Recorder will store the latest data over the top of the oldest data. In this way
you will always have the last 100 to 600 hours of data stored in memory (depending on the Storage Capacity
of the Data Recorder).
The amount or capacity of data the Data Recorder can store to internal memory is dependent on the
total of the Bytes Required per Record for each of the instruments connected to the Data Recorder and the
Storage Time Interval selected (1, 3, or 6 minutes). Use the following formula and chart below to calculate
the Storage Capacity of the Data Recorder for your configuration.
