Defining the file and folder settings for data recording

The function allows you to record echo data. The data are saved on the Processor
Record
Unit hard disk - or on an external data storage device - according to the preferences
you have defined.
Context
The parameters control how and where the recorded files are saved on the
File Setup
Processor Unit hard disk, or on an external disk. By adding a file name prefix, you can
also identify files recorded from any specific mission or survey. You can also define a
maximum size of the data files.
Tip
Data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of ES80
data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your Processor
Unit is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the data to an
external storage device.
Set up the file and folder parameters before you start the recording. If you wish to
save your recorded data on an external hard disk, make sure that it is connected to
the Processor Unit.
If the current file size gets too big during recording, use the
button. This will close the current file, and then automatically continue recording
