to the left and right using the left and right buttons.

Indicator
There is a small position indicator that preempts the lower solid strip area of the display when in the
View menu. It displays the approximate position of the recording within the recorded data.
When finished viewing the PIC file, simply press the Back button to return to the File Submenu.
Pressing Back once more returns to the Main Menu. The PIC data will be available for viewing
until the operator deliberately erases it. PIC data is not lost when the CD42-R unit is turned
off.

Tag a Recording File

Tagging a Recording file is a step that must be completed before a pig‟s speed can be calculated.
Two files must be tagged in order to calculate the pig‟s speed between the two locations, as entered
in the Location ID for each PIC file. To access the File Tag function, press the More button on the
File Submenu.
