Channels to Store

As of firmware version 4.0, the Gecko can now turn off any unused channels to save
storage space, and can store (and send) the vector sum of the 3D channels.
Save Continuous Data
Channel E: On
> Channel N: On
Channel Z: On
Channel O: On
3D Vector: Off
If all channels are accidentally turned off, the Z channel is automatically re-enabled to
ensure at least one channel is being recorded. Note that if a channel is turned off here, it
will also be turned off in the "Channels to Send" settings – see below.

Channels to Send

You can select which channels to send continuously to your remote server. For vibration
monitoring applications you may choose to send the 3D Vector sum channel continuously,
storing the ENZO channels to be sent if a trigger process is enabled and an event detected.

automatically be turned on in the "Channels to Store" settings as the stored data is required
for backfilling gaps in data telemetry. Disabling a channel in telemetry will not disable that
channel in the "Channels to Store" settings.

Sensor Setup

This section of the user manual applies to Gecko Compact, Rugged, Blast and SMA models only. For all
other models, skip ahead to the Input Amplifier section.

Toggle the channels on or off as required. The 3D Vector
channel is the vector sum of channels ENZ, which can now
be stored and streamed. Note that if a channel is enabled for
telemetry (see next setting below), it will automatically be
stored to the SD card as well to ensure the data is available
for backfill should the communication link drop out.
Toggle the channels on or off as required using the Right
button. Version 4 of the Gecko now allows you to stream the
Vector Sum of channels ENZ instead of the individual
channels, although these channels can still be stored and
telemetered when the Gecko triggers.
Note that if a channel is enabled for telemetry, it will
3D Sensor
This menu has items that deal with 3D sensor information
and control. This will not be visible in the Blast or SMA, but
the method same applies for setting up the 1D sensor, so
Blast & SMA users should read this section.
