Since the resolution is lower a longer recording can be made. Maximum pre trig is 30 seconds and maximum recording length (including pre trig) is 300 seconds. For typical grid operations Unipower recommends a configuration of 10 seconds pre trig, 120 seconds post trig. Note that appropriate settings might take some trial and error before you find optimal storage length for your system.
