User`s manual

There is an option in the Setup menu or AOR Searchlight to use 8 kHz sampling with

8-bit resolution. This is a format that is not supported by all sound cards, but produces the

smallest files (and the lowest quality audio). You should use this if you are short of disk space.

Not all sound cards support 8 kHz sampling. Please check with the supplier of your

sound card if you are considering using this option when purchasing a card.

If you have an MCI sound driver installed, it will be detected automatically by the

program when AOR Searchlight is launched. Some menu options relating to sound options will

be “greyed” and the sound log window is missing if the driver is not present.

NOTE: You can also use the standard Windows

utilities Sound Recorder and Media

Player to replay recordings made by AOR Searchlight.

Sound Log Window

If you have a sound card correctly installed, the sound log window will be created when

you launch AOR Searchlight. The sound log window looks like:

A row of six push buttons along the top of the sound log window provide all the

functions you need to record and replay sound log entries manually. Each log entry is listed in

the box in the lower half of the window.

NOTE: Most sound log push button functions apply to the highlighted entry.
