On the Data Storage Location page shown in Figure 4-9, you are asked for the
directory name.
You can enter the name in the
Directory
text box, or you can browse for one. In
most cases you will want to use the default. You can also change the data file
prefix in this box by entering it in the
Prefix
text box. In the following example the
prefix is sonar_data.
sonar_data040721072400.sdf
The final text box is
Minutes of data per disk file
. This sets the length of time that
the current data file will collect sonar data. The default is one minute. You should
usually keep this file time short to protect the data should a problem occur. You
will only lose one minute of data. There are times, however, when you may want
to increase the time interval. For example, if you are running a survey and want to
have one file for each survey line, you would enter a file time that is longer than
the time it would take for you to survey the line, and then at the end of the line, you
would click
. This will end the file and start the next file.
