is turned on.
o In order to record measurements with greater precision, however,
we recommend manually calibrating the system after letting it
warm-up for at least 10 minutes before beginning recording.

6-4. Setting triggers
In addition to manually starting and stopping recording, you can
also set the system to start and stop recording using triggers and
intervals.
o After recording with the fan stopped, wait at least 10 minutes
before recording with the fan stopped again. Use a sufficient inter-
val time when conducting interval recording or other repeated
recording in particular.

Recording stops
For trigger recording, you can set a combination of a starting trigger
(level, external or timeout) and a stopping trigger (level, external or
recording time).
Recording starting conditions
Level trigger
Use a level change for the set channel as a trigger.
External trigger
When the input through the EXT TRIGGER IN connector becomes
the L level (0.4 V or less), recording starts. If the L level has already
been reached, when the system becomes record ready, recording
starts immediately.
Timeout
If the conditions set to start recording are not met within a specified
time, recording will be forced to start automatically.
Pre trigger
By default, the system saves data from the time between when a
recording starting condition occurs and when a recording stopping
condition occurs.
When a pre-trigger interval is set, data is recorded before a recording
starting condition occurs, but only after the system is made record
ready.
o You cannot record voice memos during this time.

6. Recording
Recording stopping conditions
Level trigger
Use a level change for the set channel as a trigger.
External trigger
When the input through the EXT TRIGGER IN connector becomes
the H level (open or 2 V or more), recording stops.
Rec Time
Recording continues only for the set amount of time.
Post trigger
Even after one of the above recording stopping conditions is met,
recording will continue for the set amount of time.
o When recording is stopped manually, however, the system will
not record after the stop trigger.
6-4-2. Interval recording

Interval time Interval time
When the number of repetitions is set to 2 or more, recording
will start at the set time and stop after the set recording time has
elapsed. Then, the system will become record ready and start record-
ing again after the set interval. After this process has repeated to
record the set number of repetitions, recording will stop.
If the number of repetitions is set to 0, interval recording will repeat
until the recording media is full, or recording is stopped manually.
Start time
Recording starts at the set time.
Recording time
Recording continues for the set amount of time.
Interval time
If the number of repetitions is set to 2 or more recordings, this is
the amount of time that the system stays in a record ready state
from the time one recording ends until the next recording starts.
Repetitions
Sets the number of repetitions. When set to 0, interval record-
ing will repeat until the recording media is full or recording is
stopped manually.
The maximum number of repetitions that can be set is 65534.
o When set to 0, if recording is repeated until the recording
media becomes full, the recorded data for the last recording
might not be as long as the Rec Time setting.
6-5. Starting recording
Press the REC button to make the unit ready to record.
If a starting trigger has been set, recording will start when a trigger
condition is met.
If no starting trigger has been set, press the FWD button to start
recording.
