Menu overview
The recorder has an intuitive structure that allows you to configure the unit’s
parameters quickly and efficiently. Each command icon displays a window that lets you
edit a group of settings. Most menus are available only to system administrators.
The window is divided into three sections. The currently selected command icon and
submenu item are highlighted in green. See Figure 12 below.
