OPERATION
Linear mode is one of the two Intellex recording modes (see Record
Mode Setup on page 76).
NOTE: When the image database is full and Linear is selected,
recording stops and an option screen appears.
In linear mode, the unit records from the beginning to the end of the
image database. When the database is partially or completely full
(depending on the record setting), the unit displays a notification
screen. The operator must choose one of the following options:
• Perform a backup immediately.
• Postpone archiving and recording until later.
• Continue recording images at the beginning of the database,
which overwrites older images.
The following sections describe the messages and options for each
notification screen.

reaches this setting, the unit flashes the Alarms indicator on the
front panel. It also energizes alarm output 16 if the Message Alert
option is selected (see Alarms Setup on page 78). Then it displays the
following screen (with the appropriate percentage):
