Starting/Stopping Recording

5.4.1 Starting Recording

The ZN-CTX21 starts recording power level when the SET/REC/STOP key is held (long press
for at least 3 seconds) in RUN mode or when the specified start time is reached. The "REC"
indication turns ON when recording starts.
The measured data is recorded and accumulated in the internal memory, and is output in a
CSV file to the SD memory card when the SET/REC/STOP key is pressed.
Important
 If recording starts with recorded data remaining in the internal memory, the remaining
recorded data is lost. To save the data, press the SET/REC/STOP key for less than 3
seconds to output the data to the SD memory card before recording. Recorded data
remaining in the internal memory is the result of the unit restarting after a power failure or a
press of the reset switch in midst of recording. This situation does not happen if recording is
correctly stopped.
 To check for remaining data, press the  or  key in RUN mode to locate the display in
which the current time is shown at the lower row. Check its upper row, and if its value is "0",
then there is no data remaining in the internal memory.
 The unit cannot start recording while an error message is shown in the display. Remove the
error cause, and cancel the error status by holding the MODE key (3 seconds or longer).
Then, start recording. (ZN-CTX21 only)
Note
 The Power Startup REC Restoration (REREC) function automatically resumes recording (if it
is set to "ON") when the unit restarts after it was accidentally turned OFF during recording.
 An SD memory card must be placed in the unit when the SET/REC/STOP key is pressed for
data output during recording or when recording is stopped. It is not necessarily the case at
the point when the unit starts recording.
 Disable the write protection of an SD memory card. If it is enabled, an error occurs when the
unit attempts to write data to the card (when the internal memory becomes full) and
recording stops.
 A shift to other mode is prohibited during recording.

5.4.2 Stopping Recording

If pressing and holding the SET/REC/STOP key (for 3s or more) during recording, in short
while "REC" is blinking, recording is stopped, data are saved in a file on the SD memory card,
and "REC" is turned OFF.
ZN-CTX21 stops recording at the preset end time, saves data in a file on the SD memory card,
and turns OFF "REC."
Important
 If stopping recording, insert a writable SD memory card in advance.
 If a data output attempt fails, recording stops with the recorded data in the internal memory
retained and the error message is displayed. Hold the MODE key (3 seconds or longer) to
cancel the error status. Insert an SD memory card and output the recorded data file to the
card by pressing SET/REC/STOP key. Do not start recording before the data in the internal
