Continuous
SoundTrak Data
When a Continuous SoundTrak
setting is loaded, everything
continues to function in a very
similar way to the normal
operating mode. However, once
the curve data saving is turned on,
the system will start to record
Continuous SoundTrak data in
parallel with the curve data to the
disk for all the channels which are
active.
While Continuous SoundTrak
data is being recording, a blue dot
appears next to the speaker
symbols (Figure 1) in a similar
way to the red dot which is used
in the external audio record mode.
The Continuous SoundTrak
saving stops when the curve
saving is deactivated or when the
user exits the acquire mode. The
blue dot is removed from the
spectral displays and replaced
with a pause symbol when the
curve saving is deactivated. In
this way, it is possible to do
intermittent type monitoring
during the exam and create a type
of segmented saving to reduce
disk space requirements.

Indicator (Blue Dot).
Note: The Continuous SoundTrak data is only recorded when the curve
recording is active. This creates a 1:1 recording of curve data and the
associated Continuous SoundTrak data to ensure proper operation in the
review mode. See Chapter S8 in this handbook.
Note: Each time the Continuous SoundTrak recording is started, the
system makes an estimate of the amount of recording time available in
hours by checking the free drive space and making a calculation based
on the present system configuration. If the amount of recording time
available in hours is less than 10, then the amount is displayed in the
message window and removed after a few seconds.
Note: As a result of the large amount of space, which is required to
store the Continuous SoundTrak data, the message showing the amount
of recording time available automatically appears when the time
available is under 1 hour. In this case, the message is drawn in red text
and it appears every minute.
Note: The amount of recording time available and the data rate requirements for the active setting can be found in the Exam Info menu point.
