Using MCR-4V

Group Operations via Master

Group operations such as the starting and stopping recording for 

the connected units can only be performed via the Master. Upon the 

start of a group recording, the main recording settings will be 

temporarily copied to all connected Slaves. Upon the stopping of 

recording, all copied settings will be returned to their original state.

Using MCR for Windows, it is possible to start 

and stop recording by group by connecting 

the Master to a PC via USB.

Slaves

Master

Settings Controlled by the Master:

Settings for Recording Mode, Recording Method, 50-60Hz Filter, 

Recording Interval, and Recording Channels

Settings not Controlled by the Master:

Settings for Channel Name, Measurement Range, Scale Conversion 

and Warning Monitoring

Other Settings:

Preheat and Recording Stop Trigger are only enabled on the 

Master.

IMPORTANT

 -Operations related to the SD memory card (such as Data Export and Quick Format) 

cannot be performed by group via the Master.

 -To change settings for items that are not controlled by the Master, either change on 

the target connected Slave unit, or use MCR for Windows by connecting each Slave 

unit to the PC with a USB cable.

 -Among the above “Settings not controlled by the Master”, the Channel Name and 

Scale Conversion can only be set or changed via MCR for Windows.

Starting Recording by Group

1. 

Make recording settings for each device separately; no matter if it 

is a Master or a Slave.

See p.24 for a list of the possible setting items.
See p.22 for the settings that are/are not controlled by the Master.

2. 

From the main menu of the Master, select [Record Settings] - [Start 

Recording].

3. 

For the [Method], select [IMMED (grp)] or [PGM (grp)].

4. 

Select [OK] and tap <ENTER>.

IMPORTANT

All connected Slaves need to have power switched to ON.

Stopping Recording by Group

From the main menu of the Master, select [Record Settings] - 

[Stop Recording].

IMPORTANT

 -During Group Recording, if the bodies of the devices are disconnected from one 

another, recording will continue on the Master but will stop on the Slave units.

 -Even when devices are coupled, power will not be supplied from the Master to any 

connected Slave units.

 -When the Master stops recording, all Slaves will stop recording.
 -During recording in one-time mode, if the Slave's memory capacity becomes full, 

recording will stop on that Slave unit only.
