a recording using
Instant Recording
(see
Making an Instant Recording

Chapter 5) and then analyze the recording files to verify the system is
operating as expected.
WARNING!
Do not place the Ultrasonic Calibrator near your ears. In
CHIRP
mode, the
calibrator emits a 40 kHz signal at over 100 dB SPL. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
ultrasonic signals may cause permanent hearing loss at audible frequencies.

Monitoring Ultrasound in Time Expansion Mode
For real-time ultrasonic monitoring, the recorder can continually capture brief
intervals of signals and play them back at a slower rate to bring them into the
range of human hearing. The Time Expansion Mode utility divides the
frequencies of ultrasonic signals by a selectable factor of 10 or 20, allowing you
to monitor them with headphones. This mode scans for ultrasonic signals that
satisfy the trigger level and frequency settings in the Audio menu and then
captures for the duration you specify in the
Buffer Time
setting. After that time,
or when the capture buffer is full, the recorder plays back at reduced speed and
then repeats this cycle.
CAUTION:
The SM4BAT FS cannot make recordings during Time Expansion
monitoring. This mode is designed primarily to allow you to verify functionality of the
microphones and recorder.
