4.2 Starting a Study
When you start a study, you reset the receiver ("initializing" the receiver). This operation
erases
the
receiver's memory and sets the receiver clock again.
IMPORTANT: Always back up previously offloaded data before starting a new study. Internal memory
is erased (data are permanently deleted from the receiver memory).
To start a study using Fathom
Establish communication between the
HR2
and the
Fathom
software (see "Establishing
Communication", on page 24 ).
Step 1 - Start a Study button
On the HR2 Receiver Tab , click the Start a Study button (start recording).
NOTE: This button is not available before communication between the receiver and
Fathom
is established.
Step 2 - Check Computer Time Settings warning
The Check Computer Time Settings warning
appears.
This warning only appears once per
Fathom session. Ensure that your
computer's displayed time of day is
consistent with your selected time zone
before proceeding to ensure that your
receiver's internal clock is set correctly.
