The user can program how the receiver will behave in the event of a power fail-
ure. The corresponding receiver parameter is /par/button/auto.
Depending on which of the three radio buttons has been selected, the receiver will behave
as follows:
Table 6. How Data recording auto-start works
Scenario “Off” “On” “Always”
Before a power failure oc-
curred, receiver data were
being logged to the file with
the name specified in
“Always append to the
file”
Data logging will not resume
automatically after the power
is restored.
Receiver will resume data log-
ging (to the same file) after the
power is restored.
Receiver will resume data
logging (to the same file)
after the power is restored.
Before a power failure oc-
curred, receiver data were
being recorded in a default-
named file (i.e., the string
“Always append to the
file” was empty)
Data logging will not resume
automatically after the power
is restored.
A new log-file will be opened
after the power is restored and
the receiver will start recording
data in this file
A new log-file will be opened
after the power is restored
and the receiver will start
recording data in this file
Before a power failure oc-
curred, the string A l w a ys
append to the file had a
non-empty value but data
logging hadn’t been started
yet
A file with this name will not
be opened and data logging
will not be started after the
power is restored.
A file with this name will not be
opened and data logging will
not be started after the power is
restored.
After the power is restored a
file with this name will be
opened and data logging will
be started
Before a power failure oc-
curred, the string A l w a ys
append to the file was
empty and data logging was
off
Data logging will not be
started after the power is
restored.
Data logging will not be started
after the power is restored.
After the power is restored,
a new (default-named) log-
file will be opened and data
logging will be started.
Also, if the option Always is selected, your receiver will automatically start log-
ging data (to a newly created or an existing file) in the following three cases:
1. After switching the receiver ON with the Minter (I) button.
2. After executing the Reset receiver command (the corresponding receiver parameter is
/par/reset)
3. After waking the receiver from sleep mode
