Continuous vs Timed Acquire

By toggling the Continuous checkbox, the user can determine whether the recording will time out
automatically after the number of seconds specified by the Recording Time field, or will run until the the Stop
Recording button is pressed. 
When Continuous is not toggled, the user can set the length of the recording by typing in the number of
seconds in the Recording Time field. Recording is not permitted when an invalid time is entered, as marked
by a red field background. A valid time must be a natural number (a whole number greater than 0).

Storage Fidelity

The user has three bit depth options: 32-bit int, 24-bit float, or 16-bit float. All three are compatible with
Raven Pro. Higher bit depth settings can record smaller differences between sounds, but require more
memory.
Audio files can be downsampled after recording, but never upsampled, so it is recommended that users
choose 32-bit unless they are certain that a lower bit depth fulfills their requirements.
