When Auto Record is selected as
NO
for an Aerial Scan, no pulse rate information will be displayed or recorded.
To manually save a data point,
Hold
must be activated and pressing
“SHIFT”
and then
“RECORD”
sequentially
will save a data point. The time stamp, frequency, signal strength and GPS location for each data point recorded
will be stored to memory. An optional GPS antenna must be connected to the R4500S for the GPS location option
to work.
If
“SHIFT”
and then
“RECORD”
is pressed while not in
HOLD
, the frequency will not be recorded, but the time
stamp, and GPS location will be stored to memory. An optional GPS antenna must be connected to the R4500S
for the GPS location option to work.

The number entered here should represent the range of pulse rates you are using in your study. The available
period range allowed to be entered is between 400ms to 6000ms. The periods measured from signals that are
outside the entered range will be thrown out.
If the defaults were set up correctly, just press enter for each item listed, and the cursor will move through each
setting in the Aerial Setup windows. When all settings have been entered, the Aerial scan will start.
The default settings are used to pre - enter the values for each item listed for the Aerial Setup. Pressing
“ENTER”
on these values stores them into memory. If there needs to be any changes made to any of the items, pressing
“ENTER”
will store the changed value into memory, and that changed value will be used in the Aerial scan.
If the defaults settings are not used and a different value is entered, the new value entered will be used for that
Aerial Scan until the scan has been terminated. If a new scan is started by starting an Aerial Scan from the Main
Menu, the default values will be returned to the listed items. If a new value is needed other than the default values,
selecting a new scan will be needed to enter the new values.
When an Aerial Scan has started, the R4500S will start scanning the frequencies in the table at the entered scan
rate time. When a transmitter is heard on a frequency, pressing
“HOLD”
will stop the scan rate and remain on that
frequency until
“HOLD”
is pressed again. When Hold is pressed the second time, the R4500S will resume
scanning through the frequencies in the table at the scan rate time.
You may use the CHAN up
and CHAN down
keys at any time to scroll through the channels. When
the is scanning through the frequencies, pressing the chan up or chan down keys will override the scan rate time,
and advance forward or backwards through the frequency table. While in
Hold
, pressing the chan up or chan down
keys will advance forward or backwards through the frequency table and remain in the
Hold
state, recording any
available information when detected.
While in
Hold
, the tune up
and the tune down
keys can be used to increment or decrement the
frequency.
