SoundAdvisor Model 831C
• Pre/Post Event
Pre-Trigger and Post-trigger values indicate the number of samples you want
to log prior to the event and after the event, respectively. A sample is equal to
the Event Time History Period.
• Event Samples
The Event Samples value indicates the maximum number of samples you
want to record for each event. Choose any value 10–9999. Once the maximum
is reached, no samples are logged, even if the event continues or post-trigger
samples were set.
If the sample Period is 1 second, the event lasts 15 seconds, and
Example:
Event Samples is 10, only the first 10 periods (seconds) will be logged. Since
this event extends beyond the maximum sample time, there will be no post-
trigger sample logged, regardless of the set Post Event value.
