Record Option

Record Option settings

The Record Options permit you to select between Single File Recording and Multiple File

Recording.

For simple recording on the spot, select “Single File Recording” for the creation of a unique file.

One can set-up a continuous recording on one single file by selecting the “Loop File” option. If

“Loop File” is enabled, after the Record File reaches its maximum size or duration, incoming

packets will be continuously written from the begin of the file by overwriting progressively the

oldest packets. When the record is stopped, the DtGrabber+ reprocesses packets from the file to

rebuild the TS signal as originally received by the adapter.

One can launch a sequence of multiple files recording by enabling the “Multiple Files” option

and set-up the target number of files. If no auto-erase rule is selected, the recording will stop

after the last file has been recorded.

Auto-erase rules permits to set-up continuous recording with multiple files. Two type of automatic

deletion of old files are available: “Auto-erase with max. number of Files” for automatic deletion

of old files so to keep always the maximum number of files as specified by the user; and “Auto-

erase after xx (hours)” rules to erase automatically files older than a specified number of hours.

For multiple file recording, file names are stamped with the host PC time at time of file creation

and a 5 digit file index. To rebuild a TS File from sequentially created files, the user can use the

“merge” tool from the Tools->Merge menu. See section 5.5.1 for description about the merge

tool.
