CHAPTER 5
Recording start and stop from AADI Real-Time Collector
You can start each recorder group individually or at the same time, and you can change the recording
interval individually for each group. Refer chapter 4.2 for a description of how to add/remove a sensor from
a recording group, and how to find the minimum recording interval in each group.
The AADI real-time protocols define a recording session as the time series of data collected between user
generated start- and stop commands. All data recorded within one session will share an identical session
tag. The system guarantees that no changes in configuration have occurred within a recording session and
this particular configuration is saved together with the data. Thus full traceability is secured. For the same
reason any change of configuration will require a stop and subsequent restart of the recorder.
Between each recording SmartGuard will enter low power mode (sleep) in order to conserve power. When
battery operated this is usually the single most important key to sustain long operating time. Consequently
the choice of interval must be traded against length of deployment or charging capacity in e.g. a solar panel
equipped system.
There are currently no power calculations, embedded or stand alone, for SmartGuard due to the high
degree of complexity associated with the large flexibility of alternative sensors and configurations.
