3.7 Voice Recorder
The voice recorder can be accessed after a measurement has been completed from any
mode. To access this option, you must use the
SBP
▼
which will bring you into the
measurement menu (
Figure 25
on
page 29)
. Select
Store with note
and the voice
recorder will begin immediately. For best recording, the KT-10 v2 should be positioned
approximately 10 centimetres from the operator’s mouth, and a normal speaking volume
should be used. Speaking loudly will only cause distortion in the recording, which may
make it difficult to understand when the file is played back. Using
SBP
▼
will end the
voice recording.
Note: voice notes are currently limited to 45 seconds per recording.
The voice recorder can add complimentary information to a set of core measurements or
field measurements. For example, the voice recorder will allow an operator to indicate
which borehole a reading came from as well as any other location information (if the
optional GPS is not connected). Information such as the physical characteristics of a rock,
sample interval on a drill core and the number of boxes to complete the borehole could
also be added here.
All voice records are saved and transferred to a personal computer in wave format and
can be replayed in the GeoView via audio program such as Windows Media Player.
