Record indicator description
A key function of the EK80 system is it ability to record echo data. Use the raw data recording functionality provided by the EK80 system to save echo data using the *.raw format. The data files can be played back on the EK80 system. You can keep the recorded files for scientific studies, future references or for training purposes.
Description
The Record indicator shows you when recording is active. The indicator is red when recording is in progress.
The Record RAW button allows you to start and stop recording, split the current recording file (if it gets too large), and set up the file
output parameters. Once all the recording parameters have been defined, you can start recording by clicking the red circle on the button, and
stop it by clicking the left rectangle. Record RAW is located on the Operation menu.
You can record both RAW and processed data using the Record RAW and Record Processed functions. It may be useful to synchronize these two functions to automatically record all data formats simultaneously. To synchronize the recording functions, open the Record RAW button, and set Synchronize to On. The Record Processed button is then inhibited, and you can start and stop all recording by means of the Record RAW button.
Note
The data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your computer is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the data to an external storage device.
