Example: With the UBG-16 and the R-1 (w/RS-232 option) connected to the Data Recorder, the total
Bytes Required per Record is 6 + 32 + 2 = 40. If we set the Storage Time Interval to 6 minutes, the Stor-
age Capacity of the Data Recorder = (262,130 / 40) X (6 / 60) = 655 hours.
In the "BURST" mode the Data Recorder stores data as fast as it can. To calculate the Storage
Capacity of the Data Recorder when operated in the "BURST" mode, use the following formula:
Storage Capacity (in hours) = -------------------------- X ----------------------------------------------------
(BURST mode)
The Data Recorder uses EEPROM memory ICs. This type of memory
does not
require any batteries
or power to keep the memory alive. Data will remain in the memory ICs for a minimum of 40 years.

The Data Recorder provides an Event Warning Line that may be used to record an event or condition.
The moment this line is pulled to ground, a recording is initiated and "(ON)" is stored in the Event Warning
field. The brackets "( )" around the "ON" are used to indicate that a change in the Event Warning Line has
occurred. If this line continues to stay at a low level, "ON" (without brackets) will be stored to the Event
Warning field and the Data Recorder will store data every minute, regardless of the Storage Time Interval
setting. The moment the Event Warning Line goes to a high level, a recording is initiated and "(OFF)" will
be stored in the Event Warning field . If this line stays at a high level, "OFF" (without brackets) will be
stored to the Event Warning field and the Data Recorder will store data at a rate determined by the Storage
Time Interval setting.
All E.I. Instruments with an RS-232 output provide an External Warning Line. This line will goes to a
low level when a programmed limit is reached or a problem occurs. An instrument's External Warning Line
can be connected to the Event Warning Line on the Data Recorder to trigger the recordings described
above.

Input Channels
The Data Recorder has 8 input channels. Channels 1 through 7 are designed to receive RS-232 (5V)
data from various Electronics International instruments. Also, channels 1 through 7 can be used to receive
the RS-232 (5V) signal from another Data Recorder for cascade operation. Cascade operation allows data
to be received from an unlimited number of E.I. Instruments.
Channel 8 is designed to receive RS-232 moving map data from a GPS Instrument (most GPS Instru-
ments transmit moving map data). See the GPS RS-232 Data Sheet at the back of this manual for data
information.
