1.1. Overview
T
he es8 is a handy type field recorder which allows you to record signals of a maximum of 5 kHz on to a CompactFlashR (CF) memory card.
In addition to standalone operations by keys on the main unit, es8 performs monitoring on the PC display and data recording on the PC
hard drive by connecting a Windows PC thru a USB cable to run a navigation program.
The data file format of a CF memory card is compatible to TEAC’s proprietary TAFFmat or CSV (upper sampling frequency of recording is
limited), making it possible to read data using popular analysis software or spreadsheet calculation software such as a TEAC Data Viewer
Program.
