Type of recording:
Select the required recording type.
In the case of Ring mode the recording proceeds continuously. If the maximum
hard drive space has been reached, the oldest recordings are automatically
overwritten.
In the case of Linear mode the recording proceeds until the entire hard drive
space is full. The recording is then stopped until old recordings have been
deleted.
Number of alarm tracks:
Caution
Alarm tracks must be set up in the partition for alarm recording.
The unit uses a special recording mode during alarm recording for optimal usage
of storage capacity: as soon as a time gap for alarm recording begins, a record-
ing is continuously made on one segment, which is the size of a complete alarm
sequence (pre- and post-alarm time).
This segment in the partition functions in a similar manner to a ring buffer and is
overwritten until an alarm is actually triggered. Recording occurs on the segment
only for the duration of the preset post-alarm time and a new segment subse-
quently used in the same manner.
Select the number of alarm tracks to be used in the partition. One alarm event
can be recorded in each alarm track. Accordingly, the number of alarms entered
can be recorded and archived. A partition can contain a maximum of 128 alarm
recordings.
If the option Ring mode (see page 61) is set for a partition, the latest alarm
recordings are always saved in the preset number. If the option Linear mode is
selected, the recording is stopped as soon as the total number of alarm tracks
has been recorded.
Alarm track size:
The size for an alarm track can be calculated according to various parameters.
The calculated size applies to all alarm tracks for the partition.
– Click the Calculate button. A window will open.
– Select the appropriate setting for each parameter from the list boxes.
Click the Set button to accept the calculated value.
