Changing the settings
Press the F1 key to enter the Settings menu. The settings are grouped into the following:
1 – USER PROFILES
2 – RECORDING SETTINGS
3 – TIMERS
4 – TIME SETTINGS
5 – DISPLAY
6 – UTILITIES
To select one of the categories above, move the highlighted section to the desired category
using the up/down arrow keys and press ENTER.
When the detector is turned off, it saves all of the current settings so the next time it is turned
on it will use the same settings.
USER PROFILES
Each “profile” contains the following parameters (the notations in the User Profiles menu and
Profile select screen are shown within parenthesis):
Sampling frequency (SAMP.FREQ./f): 44.1 kHz, 300 kHz or 500 kHz
Pre-trigger time (PRETRIG/PRE): OFF, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 or 1 sec
Recording length (REC.LEN./LEN): 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20 sec or Manual
HP filter (HP-FILTER/HP): ON/OFF
Autorec (AUTOREC/A): YES/NO
Trigger sensitivity (T.SENS/TS): Very high/0, High/1, Medium/2, Low/3, Very low/4
Switching between different profiles is an easy and fast way to change the settings. The
D500X has ten fixed profiles and ten “user profiles”. To select which one of the 20 profiles to
use, press ENTER while the display shows the “READY” screen and use the left/right arrow
keys to select the desired profile. Press ENTER again to confirm the selection.
The use of the different parameters is described in more detail in the sections “Using the
D500X for automatic/manual recording”.
To edit one of the user profiles, select USER PROFILES from the F1 menu and then select
the desired profile, e.g. “USER0” using the arrow keys and press ENTER to enter the edit
mode. The highlighted parameter is changed with the left/right arrow keys. To move to the
next parameter, press the down arrow key. To accept and save the settings, press ENTER and
the detector will return to the main screen.
If Recording Length “Manual” is chosen, the recording will continue until the REC button is
pressed a second time. However, the recording time is limited to 1 hour in this recording
mode.
