APPENDIX 5: PLAYBACK SOFTWARE
The playback module accompanies the base model VDR and is resident on the download client
PC. Additional playback software is available for use in shore-side offices. This additional
software is necessary for the playback of data on the RSM or other media once it has been
removed from the ship and transported to the office environment.
Important! The computer on which the Playback application is being
installed must have its regional and language options adjusted to English.
This may be done by double clicking the 'Regional Options' icon in the Control
Panel window and selecting 'English' from the language drop down list. It is
recommended that either 'English (United States)' or 'English (Canada)' is
selected. However, any of the available English options are acceptable.
The Playback application has two modes of operation. In Playback mode, the user can replay
saved data sets. In Real Time Display mode, the Playback application will replay real time Audio
and NMEA data that is received from the VDR. Audio data is not available during Real Time
Display mode.
