7. STARTING A RECORDING
According to paragraph 5.3 a recording can be started manually or automatically.
Therefore, after setting all parameters
and leaving the Menu , the instrument will start to
record:
•
MANUALLY: the recording starts when the instrument time reaches “00”
seconds value after pressing START/STOP.
•
AUTOMATICALLY: If the operator has pressed START/STOP the instrument will
remain in stand-by until the date and time previously set, then the
recording will start. While
if the operator doesn’t press
START/STOP the recording will never start.
CAUTION
For recordings ALWAYS use the external power supply although the
instrument allows the operator to perform a recording using internal
batteries.
If you press START a recording without the external power supply the instrument will
display a warning message “
No ext supply ”. Press START key again to run the recording
or press ESC to quit.
If during a recording the external power supply is de-energized, the instrument will
continue the recording using the internal battery power until batteries are exhausted (the
data stored until the definitive turning off won’t get lost). For this we recommend you
ALWAYS insert a new set of batteries before a long recording .
The instrument applies sophisticated algorithms to prolong the battery life. Particularly:
•
it automatically switches off the backlight after 5 seconds.
•
If the instrument is displaying in real time (and the external power supply is not
connected), after about 5 minutes from the last pressure on keys or selector rotation
the instrument automatically turns off ("AUTOPOWER OFF" procedure).
•
If the instrument is recording or is measuring energy (and the external power supply is
not connected), after about 5 minutes from the last pressure on keys or selector
rotation the instrument starts a special procedure to save batteries ("ECONOMY
MODE"): the instrument keeps recording but the display is turned off.
Before starting a recording the operator should first evaluate the state of the equipment,
decide what to record and set the instrument accordingly.
In order to facilitate this task we have decided to supply the instrument pre-set with a
general configuration which should fit most cases.
