Chapter 3 Getting Started

3.11 Setting the Disk Full Alarm

It is possible to set a threshold to indicate when the disk is full. The indication is via a pop up window on the screen,
or if the relay option is fitted, via a contact closure. The threshold limit may be set by the user to any value between
1 and 100 percent.
To set the Disk Full Alarm value:
1. From the Record Setup menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Disk Full Alarm and press the
ENTER button.
2. There are three menu options: Full setpoint, Full contact # and Rec. Contact #. Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or
DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Full setpoint and press the ENTER button.
3. An alphanumeric keypad will appear and you will be asked for the setpoint? at which the disk/card will indicate
nearly full (0 to 100 percent, where 0 implies do not indicate disk full). Use the alphanumeric keypad to enter
the setpoint percentage and then press the ENTER button.
4. If the relay option is fitted, use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Full contact # and press the ENTER
button. A window will appear asking for the Full contact #?. Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to choose
a relay contact number (1 through 6, or 0 for no contact closure) and then press the ENTER button.
6. Press the EXIT button to return to the Record Setup menu.
A message will pop up on the display when the disk/card usage equals the percentage value entered above and the
corresponding relay contact will close. Note that in all cases a message will pop up on the display and the relay
contact will close when the disk/card is full.

3.12 Saving and Loading Configuration Files

Once all the points have been set up and all other data has been programmed, it is advisable to save the configuration
to disk/card. Thus if the user needs to change any parameters for a different recording session, the prior settings
can be recovered by loading a previously saved configuration file.
To Save the Configuration:
1. From the default display, press the MENU button to get the Command Menu Button Bar.
2. Press the PROGram button to get the Program menu.
3. Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Record Setup and then press the ENTER button.
4. Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Save CFG File (Save ConFiGuration) and press the
ENTER button.
5. A pop up window will display save config=NO*. Press the YES button to change the message to
save config=YES? and then press the ENTER button to save the configuration with the current filename
to the disk. SAVE CFG will show in the Disk Status area and then a window will pop up indicating
Configuration Saved.
6. Press the OK? button and then press the EXIT button three times to return to the default display.
