4. Setup File

Reference

All SDR2-USB configuration is performed via the setup.txt file in the root folder of the USB storage device. The setup file is read only when power is connected to the SDR2-USB, and all settings specified within the setup file are retained by the recorder indefinitely.

4.1.1Initial Setup Commands

The CurrentDate= and CurrentTime= setup file lines are used during one- time initial setup to set the real-time clock’s time and date values. After including these lines in the setup file, power up the SDR2-USB and press the record button to synchronize the clock, then re-edit the setup file, erasing or commenting-out the lines for future use.

CurrentDate: Use this command to set the real-time clock’s date. Date must be specified in YYYY/MM/DD format (e.g. 2009/06/30 for 30 June 2009).

CurrentTime: Use this command to set the real-time clock’s time. Time must be specified in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format (e.g. 14:49:00 for 2:49 PM).

//uncomment and update these 2 lines to set the time

//time setting is synchronized on a button press CurrentDate=2009/06/30

CurrentTime=14:49:00
