File Name

The name of the file that will store the audio recording. If you do not include the file extension, it will be assumed to be .wav.

If you want to access the file on the NION using FTP, specify the file name using the following format:

ftp/<path>/my_file

Note: Any path you specify must already exist on the NION. The copy process cannot create folders.

If you use the CHIMP feature to listen to audio, the file name will automatically change to show the IP address of your PC.

When a recording is being made or the CHIMP is used, an LED will be lit (green) below the File Name box.

Stop recording.

Start recording.

Gain. Sets the amount of amplification or attenuation to be applied to the signal.

Error

Error messages indicating problems that have occurred when recording or playing back audio files.

If an error is displayed and you are using an nControl node, check that the nControl node has an AudioScience card installed; if you are playing a file stored on the node, connect to it via FTP and check that the file you are referencing exists.

Mutes the audio input signal.

Inverts the polarity of the signal.

Clip

Lit (red) when the input signal is clipped. This occurs when it exceeds a maximum preset level.

Inf Hold

If the Clip LED is already lit, it will continue to stay lit, even if the peak signal level drops below the threshold level.

When Inf Hold is subsequently switched off, if the signal level drops below the threshold level, the LED will be unlit after the Hold Time has elapsed.

Hold Time

The time in seconds the Clip LED will continue to be lit after the peak signal level drops below the threshold level.

Starts CHIMP mode. When enabled, audio received via the input wiring nodes on the Wave File Recorder is directed to the PC sound card. This allows you to monitor the audio via the PC speakers or headphones.

To use CHIMP mode, click the CHIMP button. The File Name box will be updated to show the IP address of the PC and port number used. If you click the button again, a new port number will be used.
