There are 3 choices: Auto, Camera and External:

o Camera selects the P350 camera as the default video source.
o External selects the external video source. You can connect an external video source to the

Job prompt: When ON the controller asks for Client, Site and Survey information during your first recording.
This will set the JOB for all your recordings during the session, until you power down. If the prompt is OFF,
you will go to the Quick Job Start and it will not ask you for this information, but will not save the files in
convenient folders. Refer to section 4.4 Figure 4.8 and Section 6.1 for more information.
