Navigation > : These commands serve as keyboard shortcuts for various navigation commands.

Reset buttons on stop : This option automatically resets the trigger buttons1…3 and the ‘channel buttons’ when the monitoring is stopped. Otherwise, these buttons will keep their current state.

Autotransfer all channels to SASLab : If this option is activated, all active channels will be transferred to Avisoft-SASLab Pro. This option overrides the channel-specific option “Open in SASLab” on the Configuration dialog.

Enable Multichannel mode : In order to access all available channels in multi-channel audio interfaces ptoviding more than 2 channels in a singel interleaved datastream, this option must be activated.

Disable ‘WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE’: There are different ways for accessing a soundcard. Avisoft-RECORDER uses the format WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE with a PCM subtype by default. Some soundcard drivers may not be able to process that format correctly. So, if you are encountering unusual effects with a specific soundcard model (e.g. mystery clipping to 50 % or missing signals in 24 bit mode), then disable WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE by checking this option. Avisoft-RECORDER will then use the simpler format WAVE_FORMAT_PCM instead.

Enable soundcards / USB audio interfaces / multichannel mode : Activate this option in order to access common audio interfaces for both recording and playback or to enable multichannel capabilities in conjunction with single-channel UltraSoundGate device. This option is only available on the Avisoft-RECORDER USGH version.

Enable virtual devices with decimated sample rate : Allows recording from the same physical audio input device at two different sample rates.

Allow individual maximum file sizes for each channel: If activated, this option will allow to set the maximum file sizes on the Configuration dialog box indiviually for each channel. Otherwise, the maximum file size setting will apply uniformly to all channels.

Enable DI0...DI7 as alternative trigger sources: If this option and the Configuration dialog box option NI-DAQmx DI are activated, the trigger of channels 1 to 8 can be alternatively be activated by a low-active TTL signal at the corresponding digital input. It is only available on the RECORDER NI-DAQmx and RECORDER USGH NI-DAQmx software.

USGEthernet Devices : This menu item defines the IP addresses and names of the USGEthernet devices. It is only available on the RECORDER USGE software.

Reset all USGEthernet devices : This menu item resets all connected USGEthernet devices. It is only available on the RECORDER USGE software.
