Section IV. RECORD OPERATION
5-9. RECORD.
Once placed in the record mode, the VR240 logging recorder will record until it is stopped. Data
is stored on the internal hard disk for 250, 500, or more channel hours depending on the size of
the hard drive. Every three channel hours the internal hard disk automatically transfers data to
a ready drive. If one drive becomes full and the other is in the ready state, the logger will
automatically switch to record on the ready drive. If there is no available drive, the hard disk will
continue to record to capacity until new media is loaded. You may search, play, record archived
data to the disk, and store messages in memory locations without interrupting the record
process.
An illuminated red light behind the
Record
transport key indicates that the logger is in the
record mode. The channel status indicators on the top line of the display will shown an asterisk
for each channel that is being recorded.
A steady
red light behind the
Record
transport key means that the normal process of recording
to the disk and then transferring to the drive is occurring. This red light will blink
whenever there
is an interruption to this process, such as when no drive is available for a data transfer, and data
is recording to the hard disk only.
