Launching the Recorder

The RR command is used to launch (or kill) the recorder. It also reports the recorder status:
ƒ

RR=-1 kills the recorder if active, and invalidates any recorded data.

ƒ

RR=0 kills the recorder and does nothing if it is not active.

ƒ

RR=1 launches the recorder, triggered on next BG.

ƒ

RR=2 launches the recorder with an immediate trigger.

ƒ

RR=3 launches the recorder with the trigger defined by the RP parameters.

Note that the results of RR=1 and RR=2 can be achieved with RR=3 and the appropriate
RP[N] definitions. The RR=1 and RR=2 commands are used for easy interface with the most
common recorder actions.

As a status report, RR may return the following values:
ƒ

RR=-1:

No valid data in recorder.

ƒ

RR=0:

Recorder action is complete and is loaded with valid data.

ƒ

RR=1, 2 and 3:

Waiting for the completion of RR=1, RR=2 or RR=3 respectively.

The report value (1, 2 or 3) does not indicate if the recorder is

already recording or if it is waiting for a trigger. If this differentia

tion is required, use the SR command.
