Managing the recorded files
If you wish to view and edit the sound files with a sound analysis software such as BatSound,
we recommend that you first copy the files from the CF card to the hard disk drive of the
computer. Altering the sound files on the CF card from the PC, may render the card unusable
for making further recordings on the D1000X. If this has happened, the card should be
formatted.
In a sound file recorded with the D1000X, the first samples contains control information used
by the detector. The actual recorded sound follows immediately after these samples. In most
cases this is not audible when the file is played. If desired, the first samples can be removed
using e.g. the BatSound software or any other sound editing software. The “Clean file”
command in the D1000X Utility program can also be used to remove these first samples.
It is possible to erase the most recently made recording in the D1000X. To do this, press the
ESC key. The text "Erase file Mxxxxx.WAV NO/YES" appears. Use the UP/DOWN arrow
keys to set the frame around YES and then press ENTER to actually erase the file (this may
take a few seconds - the "standard screen" reappears when it is finished). Please note that it is
only possible to erase the last file you recorded with the D1000X. This is made on purpose, to
avoid accidentally erasing files that you wish to keep.
Erasing individual files on the CF card in a PC is not recommended. If you wish to erase the
entire card, format it in a PC or in the D1000X.
