3.9 Recording
Each card in the system has its own compact flash card and the card may be configured to store the
sampled data on the compact flash card. This data may be retrieved at the end of the scanning session.
There are three different methods for recording data. You may choose not to record data or combine one
or more of the methods.
3.9.1 Setting up Simple Recording
The most common types of recording are
1.
Continuous Time-based Recording: Record all selected channels continuously at the scan rate.
Recording starts automatically when scanning starts and ends when scanning is stopped.
2.
Continuous Manual Recording: Record all channels continuously at the scan rate. Recording
starts when a “Start Recording” command is received and stops when the “Stop Recording”
command is received.
Continuous Time-based Recording
To set up the System 7000 scanner for continuous time-based recording perform the following steps.
1.
Assign all channels to a single recording group (group A).
2.
Configure the time-based recording mode to be “Continuous”.
3.
Set the time-based skip count, burst count, and burst skip count to 0.
4.
Set the time-based delay and recording count to 0.

Continuous Manual Recording
To set up the System 7000 scanner for continuous manual recording perform the following steps.
1.
Assign all channels to recording group A.
2.
Configure the manual recording mode to be “Continuous”.
3.
Set the manual recording “pre-trigger” buffer size to 0.
