SonRecP Overview

Memory card downloading recorder data using a computer's PCMCIA card slot

SonRecP (a variation of the Recorder program that is included with SonUtils) lets you quickly download large data files from a PCMCIA slot on your computer - over 100 times faster than Recorder/SonRecW. However, SonRecP is not for everyone -- you have to open your instrument to remove/replace the PCMCIA memory card. See below for the details.

Get SonRecP:

  • Download SonUtils (Windows 2k/NT/XP)
  • Note: Only the above version of SonUtils contains the SonRecP program. See Precautions and System Requirements (below) before using the SonRecP program.

Features:

  • Download PCMCIA memory card record data over 100 times faster than using Recorder/SonRecW. Example: A 100-MB file takes ~8 hours to download using Recorder/SonRecW at the default baud rate of 56K; SonRecP takes ~4 minutes!
  • Swap-out memory cards in the field without first having to download the data files.

Precautions:

System must be opened to remove/replace memory cards! Be aware, when you open a water-tight instrument the possibility exists for:
  • Damage to internal components
  • Damage to o-rings that seal the unit
  • Misaligning components that could lead to increased noise interference
  • Allowing dust/water to enter the unit

System Requirements:

  • Microsoft Windows Vista/XP/2K (preferred) on a laptop or desktop, OR Windows NT on a desktop (requires a reboot when card is loaded into PCMCIA slot). Note: Windows 95/98 is not supported.
  • Users may need Administrator privileges on their computer to run this program.
  • Computer must have a PCMCIA card slot
  • Only memory cards supplied by or approved by SonTek can be used
  • 2 MB available disk space for program
  • Monitor capable of 800x600 resolution or better
  • 16-bit color or better recommended
