Model VR240 Audio Logging Recorder
5-22
January 2000
Record Buffer
– Selecting the Record Buffer allows you to search and play
the last 550 channel hours of recorded data (or more if you have an optional,
higher capacity hard disk installed). To begin playing audio from the start
time of the record buffer, press the
Play
transport key. To first select a
specific time/date to play, press the
GoTo
soft key. To end your Playback
session, press the
Stop
transport key twice.
Clipboard
– The clipboard is a temporary storage area on the hard drive. It
is very useful for intense searching and playing archive material stored on
DDS tape. It allows you to store the contents of the tape onto the “clipboard”
section of the hard disk so that you may scrutinize the material quickly and
easily. This feature is also useful for those with Rewriteable DVD-RAM
drives even though the optical disks can be searched as quickly as the
internal hard disk. For example, you may want to transfer data from the
optical disk to the VR240 clipboard buffer so that you can return the disk to
permanent storage. You may re-record up to 2.18 channel hours of data into
the Clip Board. After pressing the
Playback
soft key, select the Clip Board
option. You will find this feature most useful when an incident recorded on a
DDS cassette needs to be reviewed in depth – this is easier to do from the
hard disk. To begin playing audio from the start time of the Clip Board, press
the
Play
transport key. To first select a specific time/date to play, press the
GoTo
soft key. To end your Playback session, press the
Stop
transport key
twice.
Saved Message Buffer
– While pressing the
Next
and
Previous
soft keys
you will have the option of selecting Msg 01 through Msg 16. These are
Save Message Buffer numbers assigned to previously stored material (see
“SaveMsg” below for information about saving messages to these locations).
To end your Playback session, press the
Stop
transport key twice.
Monitor
You may monitor activity on one, several, or all channels simultaneously.
Refer to paragraph 5-6 for step-by-step procedures.
GoTo
Pressing
the
Search
soft key from this position will give you instant access to
the material recorded on the hard disk (if the Record Buffer has been
previously selected during playback). Press
GoTo
and then enter the desired
time/date and channel number.
SaveMsg
The VR240 has areas set aside for buffers. These buffers can be used to
store recorded material for future playback. The recorded audio from the
command time backwards on the selected channel will be saved into the next
vacant “Save Message” buffer. The re-recording will continue until 8 channel-
minutes of audio has been stored. If all sixteen buffers are full, it will re-record
over the oldest saved message.
