Recording Track (RecTrk)
TheRecTrkparameterdetermineswhichtrackisrecordenabled.Settherecordenabledtrackto
Multtorecordmorethanonechannelsimultaneously.
WhenRecTrkissettoasingletrack(1–16),Record(R)isdisplayedforthattrackintheTrack
StatusIndicatorregion(abovetheTrackand
Channelsregion).Conversely,withoneexception,
whenanytrack’sStatusIndicatorischangedtoRecord(R),tha ttrackisshownasthevaluefor
theRecTrkparameter.
TheexceptioniswhenRecTrkisalreadysettoMult,youcanselecttherecordenabledtracksby
togglingtheTrackStatusIndicator to
Record(R),andtheRecTrkwillremainsettoMult.
WhenMultisinitiallyselected,alloftheemptytrackswillberecordenabled.Trackscontaining
