• Go to last rec: This function is useful during a recording session and allows, if
the user has executed any operation as a rewind for a check monitoring, to

remote connected on the RS 422
(page 12) socket. This function activates
(RS422) or inhibits (OFF) the serial port, located on the right side of the recorder. For
more information on the possibilities of Stelladat II in remote mode, see "Stelladat II's
modes > Remote (RS422) on page 47.
It is strongly recommended to disable the RS422 function while it's not
in use.
