ADVField Operation Manual (September 1, 2001)
3.8. Recorder Commands
Recorder commands interface with the optional ADVField internal recorder. These functions in-
clude showing the directory of files and erasing the recorder.
Dir or LD
• Lists a directory of the deployments currently stored on the recorder.
• This command takes a few seconds to scan the entire recorder.
Format
• Erases all data from the recorder.
• Make sure you download and backup any important data before executing this command.
• Upon execution, you are prompted for confirmation. The ADVField will show an updated
progress display while re-formatting the memory card.
RecStatus
• Displays the installed recorder type and size.
Note: Because of the relatively complicated binary file format used for burst sampling with
ADVField autonomous systems, it is not possible for you to directly access data on the internal
recorder. The ADV software includes a program (
SonRec
or Recorder) to download data from
the internal recorder to the computer hard disk and several conversion programs to output this
data in an easily accessible ASCII format. See the ADVField Software Manual for details.
