device, are displayed in Device options.

Type displays all Codecs available. One of the Codecs of your PC is used
to encode recordings. The Microsoft GSM Codec is present on most PC's.
It offers a good balance between recording quality and required storage
space. Therefore, if available, this Codec is selected as a standard.
Note
NoteNote
Note: The Fraunhofer MPEG Codec (as available on Windows
XP) should not be used when recording from multiple Pico
devices, because this Codec supports only one recording at the
time. The Microsoft GSM Codec does not have this limitation.

Choose between a sampling frequency of 8 kHz (the default), or 16 kHz.
A higher sampling frequency gives a higher quality recording, but uses
more disk space.
