4.2.3.1.3 Trigger
Selecting Trigger will enable the unit to record from an external event or internal alarm. Internal record
on alarm triggers are set in the Record Setup menu (section 5.7.5) while external event triggers are set
in the Digital Input/Output Setup menu (section 5.9.2). If the recorder is set in the record TRIGGER
mode, either of these event triggers will control the record on or record off function depending on
whether the events are active or inactive.
The current record status is shown in the Disk Info window in the top right corner of the screen. If the unit
is not recording, this window will show REC OFF. To start recording, assuming all parameters have been
correctly set up, press the FUNC button from the main menu bar, then “Record On/Off”, then press enter to
select the Record On/Off option. A window will pop up showing the current record status such as “record
= NO*”. To begin recording, press the YES button (or to stop recording press the NO button) then press
ENTER. After some housekeeping, the unit will either start or stop recording, depending on your selection.
The Disk Info window will show disk activity. Any disk error will be shown in a pop-up window.
