5.7 Record Setup

The Record Setup menu option allows the user to program several items dealing with the recording of data to either
a floppy disk or CompactFlash™ card. Some of the options include: choosing what to record, how it's recorded,
and the filename it will be saved to; setting up alarm points to stop or start recording; and setting the full threshold
to alarm the fact that the disk/card is getting full. Disks/cards can be formatted and configuration files can be saved
or loaded from the Record Setup menu.
To program the Record Setup options:
From the Program menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Record
Setup and then press the ENTER button. The Record Setup menu will be displayed
as shown in Figure 5-8. Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to select the option you
wish to program and then press the ENTER button. The options are described in the
following sections.
NOTE: The Record Setup Menu options CANNOT be accessed while the unit is
recording. Use the Record On/Off option in the FUNCtion Menu to stop
the unit recording prior to attempting to access this menu.

5.7.1 Data on/off

This option enables the user to enable or disable the recording of point data to
disk/card.
To enable or disable point data recording:
From the Record Setup menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Data on/off and press the
ENTER button. Press the YES or NO button to select either record data=YES (to enable data recording) or
record data=NO (to disable data recording) and then press the ENTER button to return to the Record Setup
menu. If you enable recording data and no points are turned on, you will get an error message.
NOTE: The actual recording is turned on or off in the FUNCtion menu (accessed from the Main
Button Bar) under the Record On/Off menu option. Refer to Section 4.2.3.1.
NOTE: Floppy Disk models - Use only formatted 1.44 Meg Floppy disks (High Density) and ensure they are not
