Section VI. KEY RECORD OPERATION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
This section summarizes and highlights the differences in key recording operations.
RECORD-RECORD
Record-Record is used when there is loaded formatted media in the selected drive. You are
starting at the beginning of the media. When the
Record
transport control key is pressed,
assuming you have enabled “record verify” during system configuration, VFD screen asks,
“Start recording?” Recording begins when the
Record
soft key is pressed.
STOPPING RECORD OPERATION
With the VR240 in Record Operation, the operator hits the
STOP
transport control key.
The VFD screen displays
Suspend
and
Stop
above the soft keys. Recording continues until
one of these two soft keys is pressed.
STOP-SUSPEND
With the
Stop-Suspend
feature, when the operator hits the
Suspend
soft key, recording stops
on the media drive, but recording continues on the hard drive. The VFD screen displays that
the selected drive is stopping. The drive can temporarily be used for other purposes.
RESUME-RECORD
Resume
is used to add on to media. When new formatted media is loaded, you do not want to
use
Resume-Record
. You are starting at the beginning of the media. You are not adding to it.
If the
Resume
soft key is pressed, the logger prepares the media for the next transfer of
recorded material from the hard drive. The VFD screen displays “Resume recording at the end
of DDSa?”
If the
Record
soft key is pressed, the VR240 will fast forward to the end of the media and begin
recording at the point where the media stopped.
STOP-STOP
With the VR240 in Record Operation, the operator hits the drive control
STOP
key.
The LCD screen displays
Suspend
and
Stop
above the soft keys.
When the operator hits the
Stop
soft key, the VFD screen displays that the selected drive is
stopping.
When the operator performs the
Stop-Stop
steps, the VR240 buffer transfers information from
the hard disk to the archive drive. If the buffer is in the process of transferring, it will complete
the transfer before the VFD screen displays “Ready.” If you eject the media, it has recorded
only up to the second you hit
Stop.
The VR240 is not recording anywhere.
