The Record Time starts counting from the second the New option is clicked.
Some important facts to remember about this feature:
- All parameters broadcast by the MBE Electronic Controls are recorded.
- Any codes that occur during the snapshot are automatically marked.
- There is no practical time limit for the snapshot as long as there is enough room on the hard drive to save the file.
- To mark an event other than a code, click once with the left mouse button on the Mark User Event SPACE box.
- To insert additional comments about the snapshot, click once with the left mouse button on the Annotate selection (version 4.1 or later).
When recording of the desired data is completed, click once with the left mouse button on the Stop Recording ESC box. See Figure "Stop Recording ESC Box" .
