Timer commands can stop, start and pause recording on a given condition. The general syntax of the commands are start [at | if | after | on] condition stop [at | if | after | on] condition pause [at | if | after | on] condition The timer field can contain several commands and lines. Press the [Save] button or CNTR + S keys to save the command text. Use the # character to comment out unused lines. ConditionsClock time:This can stop or start the recording at given clock time. The time has format hh:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds) and you can either use the 24-hour clock or 12-hour notation with am or pm suffix (ending). These two timer commands will start recording at 09:30 pm. These commands will stop recording at 9 o'clock in the morning. The time is valid once a day. The command will fire again next day. Note. Use the colon ":" to distinguish clock time (hh:mm::ss) from time period or duration. Stop or pause recording on silence:Use the silence word to stop or pause recording when there is no particular input on the line. You can also give the silence duration in minutes/seconds and signal level in decibel (dB) or percent (%). The default silence period is 7 seconds and the default level value is -20 dB (that is around 10%). Notice: If you use the silence word to pause recording, the recording will automatically continue after the condition becomes false (untrue). Some examples Activate recording on sound or voice:Use the sound, voice or audio words to start recording when the signal level rises over a given level. All these three words mean the same. As with the silence command, you can give the duration in seconds and signal levels in dB or %. The default duration is 7 seconds and the default level value is -20 dB (that is around 10%). Examples Notice: If you use the sound (voice or audio) words to start recording, the recording will automatically pause when the signal level drops under the given level value. File size:Stop or pause recording after certain file size. The file size must be an integer or decimal number. The size unit can be bytes, kB, MB, GB or TB. For example this will stop recording when the file size reaches 500 KB. This will stop recording after 2GB or 12:00 pm. Time period:Stop, start or pause recording after given time period. The period has syntax #h #m #s. Eg. this command will stop recording after 1 hour 20 minutes and 15 seconds. This will start recording after 22 minutes. And this will pause recording after 30 minutes or 20 MB. You can abbreviate the word hour with h, minutes with m or min, and seconds with s or sec. Combine several values in one commandYou can add several conditions to one timer command. Separate the conditions with the | character. The values are then or'ed. For example, this will stop recording after 20 minutes or when the file size exceeds 1GB or if there is no input (the line is empty, silent) in 5 seconds time. Another example. Commenting out linesUse the # character to comment out (deactivate) lines.
