31. the recording the CF LED blinks to indicate the percentage of the total CF storage space which remains available for recording It blinks in groups of 1 to 10 flashes 1 flash 10 remaining 10 flashes 100 remaining 4 CF Record is stopped by pressing and holding the button for about 1 second or until the white LED turns and stays on then release the button 5 If the CF card is full or the CF card is removed during the recording the unit will stop the recording itself With removal a maximum of 1 second of recording will be lost Attention Do not remove the CF card without first stopping recording If the CF card is removed during recording generally only the last second wil be lost however there is a small risk of greater data loss Refer to your software manual for detailed information on transferring sessions from the Compact Flash card to the computer 11 Fe ProComp Infiniti Hardware Manual Hardware Specifications ProComp Infiniti SA7500 Size approx Weight approx Power source Supply voltage Battery life Alkaline cells Low battery warning Sensor supply voltage ADC output Full scale input range DC LSB magnitude Encoder channel bandwidth 3dB and sample rate Anti aliasing filter Alias rejection DC gain accuracy DC offset Overall system accuracy Offset drift calibration temperature 10C Encoder noise 130mm x 95mm x 37mm 5 1 x 3 7 x 1 5 200g 7oz ANA batteries sin
