7.5 Log Continuous
Without “Persistent” checked, annotation text is only appended to a record when the hotkey is pressed, and other
records have no annotation text.
Synchronized annotation The “Synchronized” mode postpones annotation requests until the next scheduled record so
that the annotated text is synchronized with scheduled triggered recordings.
Without “Synchronized” checked, the hotkey will immediately trigger a record log, and the associated annotation text
will be appended to that triggered record.
GPS UDM will read the data produced from an externally connected USB or serial GPS receiver like the GlobalSat
BU-353 GPS. Also the Bluetooth GPS Dual XGPS160 has been test on a Mac.
