5.4 Series II Unit Menu
The Unit Menu contains several commands to program the Blastmate II or Minimate. After you
have changed the setups, Blastware transfers the changes to the monitor. In order for Blastware to
complete this successfully, a Blastmate II or Minimate must be connected to the computer using
the Blastmate II PC connecting cable. Before you enter this menu and attempt to change the
setups, connect a monitor to your computer. See Chapter 4, Section 4.1, for information on how to
connect a monitor to a computer.
5.4.1 Compliance Setup
The Compliance Setup dialog box programs the monitor’s Recording Mode, Storage Mode,
Record Time, Record Interval, Trigger Source, and the Geophone and Microphone setups. After
choosing the settings, click on the Send button to transfer the settings to the monitor.
To display the Recording Setup dialog box, ensure that the Series II menus have been enabled;
click on Unit, Setup, and Compliance Setup.
Note: The availability of the following settings differ between the Blastmate II and Minimate
monitors due to the different features offered by each model.
a. Record Mode
The Record Mode determines how the monitor records Events.
To choose a recording mode, click on the Record Mode drop−down menu and select a record
mode. Choose one of the following record modes.
(1) Single Shot Record Mode
Use Single Shot record mode to record one Event automatically. The monitor records the Event,
displays the results, and stops. No further recording occurs. Recording begins automatically when
an Events particle velocity or overpressure exceeds a preset trigger level.
(2) Continuous Record Mode
Use Continuous record mode to record multiple Events automatically. The monitor records an
Event, displays the results, and continues to monitor, ready to record following Events. The
monitor records all Event activity that exceeds a preset trigger level.
