Rutter VDR-100G3 - General Setup

Chapter 12: Final Recording Medium Setup, Rev. 1.5
12.1.1 General Setup
This section will cover the basics of preparing the VDR Record application to record data to the
FRM or SFRM.
1. Log on as administrator;
2. Open <vdrparams.ini > on desktop screen;
3. Locate the [STORAGE] section in the <vdrparams.ini> file;
4. Edit the following lines in the [Storage] section:
[STORAGE]
hardenedStorage = 1 // 0=disable, 1=enable, 2 = Dual FRM, default is 0
hardenedFormat = 1 // 1=L3 HVR/SVR, 2=PMC, 3=Jotron, 4=Rutter-ACR Float-free, 5=Rutter Fixed
secondaryHardenedFormat = 4 // 1=L3 HVR/SVR, 2=PMC, 3=Jotron, 4=Rutter-ACR Float-free, 5=Rutter Fixed
hardenedStorage
The ‘hardenedStorage’ line enables recording to the FRM and is used to indicate whether it is
used in a single or double FRM configuration. The default value is 0 which specifies that no FRM
is used with the system.
hardenedStorage = 0 Indicates that no FRM is connected to the system.
hardenedStorage = 1 Indicates that an FRM is connected to the system in a single FRM
configuration
hardenedStorage = 2 Indicates that the VDR is operating in dual FRM mode. In this
configuration, the fixed capsule must be configured as the primary
and the Float-free FRM is configured as the secondary FRM.
Table 12-1 - 'hardenedStorage' enables recording to the FRM.
hardenedFormat
The ‘hardenedFormat’ line is used to indicate the manufacturer of the primary FRM in use. If a
fixed FRM capsule is used in dual FRM mode with a Float-free SFRM capsule, the fixed FRM
capsule is always
set as the primary FRM.
hardenedFormat = 1 Indicates that either the L3 HVR Fixed FRM Capsule or L3 SVR
Fixed SFRM Capsule is used as the primary (or only) FRM.
hardenedFormat = 2 Indicates that the Litton PMC Fixed FRM Capsule is in use as the
primary (or only) FRM.
hardenedFormat = 3 Indicates that the JoTron Float-free SFRM Capsule is in use as the
primary (or only) FRM.
hardenedFormat = 4 Indicates that the Rutter-ACR Float-free SFRM Capsule is in use as
the primary (or only) FRM.
hardenedFormat = 5 Indicates that the Rutter FRM (RUT-02447) Fixed Capsule is in use
as the primary (or only) FRM.
Table 12-2 - 'hardenedFormat' indicates the manufacturer of the primary FRM.
