Direct Scan recording stops at 1:30:73

[turbojimmy]

This is probably something stupid, but my DirectScan stops recording all files at 1:30:73 (one minute, thirty seconds and change) after the trigger. I checked the settings and didn't see anything obvious, ditton in the User's Manual. I haven't used it in a while, but I've never had this problem before.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jim

That's just the way it works.
Nothing's wrong.

Holy brain fart. I was mixing up my TLink with my DS files in my head.

Thanks.

I looked at all my DS files and they're all 1:30 except for one, which is 1:39. According to the manual it records a *minimum* of 90 seconds. The Chu Engineering site says the same thing. The TLink site says max of 1:44. I thought I was only limited by my disk space?

No biggie - 1:30 is long enough but I'm confused by the manual now.

DS records 10 seconds pretrigger and 90 seconds after the trigger. I'm guessing here, but if there isn't 10 seconds worth of pretrigger data, maybe it just does 100 seconds total? And, of course, all of this assumes 18 fps, since at slower frame rates the maximum record time goes up proportionally.

That might be it. For some reason it never really sunk in that DS had that "limitation". Most wouldn't see it as a limitation, but it is limited compared to TLink. At the track you don't need 90 seconds really, but I was driving around yesterday hoping to catch a few minutes of behavior with these 60# injectors.

Oh well....I'll just have to do it 90 seconds at a time.

Not positive on this but if you slow down the fps from 18 to something slower it may give you a longer record time.
