file at a selectable time interval, as I recall, the time intervals are 1
min., 5 min, 15 min. and 30 minutes up to 24 hours.
By using all of these functions together, you start the PMB661 recorder
recording at the beginning of a long session and leave it. It will
automatically start recording when it hears a sound, the pre record will
have the prior 2 seconds of sound in the memory buffer so you do not loose=
anything of the sound that triggered it, after the sound stops, the
recorder records an additional 3 seconds and then goes into pause mode
waiting for the sound to start again. With the auto-track set to 15
minutes, every 15 minute interval of recording time, the recorder starts a=
new file thus keeping the maximum file size to whatever you consider a
manageable size...
I can vouch for the fact this automated recording works flawlessly, I use
this quite a bit in some of my wildlife recording ventures and find it very=
handy... It certainly save a lot of time when post editing files
afterwards...
