Recording Operation
Recording is achieved by pressing the
STOP / RECORD
Key
on your
instruments keypad.
All settings/parameters from within SETUP in Real Time mode will be used or
logged when a recording is started.
It is not possible to reset any parameter, change range or adjust any settings
whilst recording.
Recording operation can be identified by having a duration value that flashes and
shows the total duration that the recording has been running.
Scrolling between the four instantaneous display parameter screens
Arms
,
Aeq
,
Amax
or
Pmax
is achieved using the
Left
and
Right Arrow
Keys
. The
available parameters whilst recording are the same as in Real Time operation.
See
Display Parameters
under
Real Time Operation
for more information on
the display parameters.
By pressing the
PAUSE
Key
on the keypad it is possible to view a snapshot
of the data values at that point in time. Use the
Left
and
Right Arrow
Keys
to scroll between parameters. To revert back to instantaneous readings press
the
PAUSE
Key once again. This function is a visual aid only and
does not
pause
the duration time of the recording and all data values continue to be calculated
and recorded as normal.
Cumulative parameters that have been selected in
SETUP
are only available
when the recording has ended and as with Real Time mode the dominant axis is
identified by having the
>
character displayed next to it.
The
Power On/Off
Key
is disabled whilst Recording to prevent the
instrument from accidentally entering the Shut Down screen and possible data
loss.
Ending a Recording
To stop recording at any time, press the
STOP / RECORD
Key
on your
instruments keypad again and you will be taken to the Calculation Display
Screen.
