Recording dialog box

Record RAW allows you to record the unprocessed echo data received by the transducer. You can save the data to the hard disk, or onto an external storage device. When the recording is stopped, the Recording dialog box opens automatically. Use the Recording dialog box to add metadata to your recording.

How to open

When the recording is stopped, the Recording dialog box opens automatically.

Description

The purpose of the Recording dialog box is to collect additional information about the recording circumstances before you save the file. After you have stopped the recording we suggest that you keep this dialog box open until you have collected information about the catch.

Select Advanced to add information. You can insert information about catch and bycatch, and provide details about species, weight and size. You can also add comments. The comments are saved in a separate text file in the same folder as the raw data files.

Select Delete to cancel the recording and delete the raw data file.

Tip:

By collecting additional information about the catch you add value to your recording. The catch data will help to build your own experience, as you can play back the data later so study the echo presentations. If you wish to share the recordings with your dealer or us we can use them to make our products better.

Folder Prefix

You can save the data to the hard disk, or onto an external storage device. Type a text to use a prefix on the folder name.

Note:

The data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. The ST90 system is not provided with unlimited disk capacity. We recommend that you save the data files to an external storage device.
