Recording options are illustrated below.
• Record duration: HHHH:MM:SS
This is the time duration (up to 1,000 hours) of each recording cycle. When the
duration is set to zero, the system will treat it as indefinite time and thus require
a user’s action or a system event to stop it. When the record duration gets
elapsed, the current recording cycle is finished.
• After the first recording, repeat
When “No repeat” is checked, the system finishes the only one recording cycle.
When “Under the defined event above” is checked, user will also need to enter the
number of times of repeat up to 100 times (cycles). Each cycle has the fixed
record duration unless it is interrupted by the stop recording event.
The File Name option allows user defining the file name prefix and a sequence
number. By default, the prefix of recorded data is REC, and the sequence number
is a four-figure number prefixed with zero (e.g. REC0005). When recording
starts, the sequence number of each file name adds 1 to its previous recording
cycle.
By checking the “Allow rename before manually start recording” box, user can
change the file name before the signal is saved to files.
By checking the “Auto download data at the end of each test” box, as soon as the
test ends, the recorded data will be automatically downloaded to PC from the
Spider’s flash memory.
By checking the “Locate and expand the recorded data after download” box, the
recorded data will be immediately displayed when download completes.
Recording with Trigger
Recording can automatically start and stop when the time stream signals are
triggered. In this scenario, the user will see the “Recording is waiting on trigger”
banner in the recording status window which is opened automatically.
