1 Timezone

Please select the timezone the BATLOGGER is located in. To be able to change the timezone of the BATLOGGER, the BATLOGGER needs to be online. When setting the timezone, the date and time of the BATLOGGER is automatically set using the time of your PC. The correct timezone setting is important to calculate the correct times for sunrise and sunset. By using the “REFRESH TIME” button you can verify the time set at the location of the BATLOGGER.

2 Location

Setting the BATLOGGER location is important for correct sunrise and sunset times. In addition, the location is indicated in the .XML files for all recordings. To change the location please click on the little marker icon in the headline and choose the position in the dialog which will open. To set a new position, please zoom as required and then click at the position you want the BATLOGGER to be. When the position is correct, please use SAVE to store the new position. You can use the address field to search for a position, e.g. a city name.

3 Recording Times

You can specify up to two independent times frames per day / night in which the BATLOGGER will trigger and record files. Outside the specified time frames the BATLOGGER will not record anything. The time frames may over lap each other. If any of the time frames is active the recording is enabled. The result of combined time spans is shown at “Resulting recording times”. When you specify a time frame with the same start and stop times, this will be interpreted as “always on”.

All times are local times at BATLOGGER location. Please make sure to configure timezone and location of the BATLOGGER correctly. Each stop and start time of every time frame can be specified to use a fix time or a relative time with regards to sunrise and sunset times.

4 Alias Name

Please choose an alias name for your BATLOGGER. The alias name is used to easily identify your BATLOGGER. The alias name will be shown in the recording .xml files. The alias name can be any text up to 100 charcaters. The first part of the alias name (up to the first space) is used as a project identifier.

The Project Identifier

The project identifier is used to mark all recordings and .XML files with a project ID. It shall help you to easily identify files which are related to a specific location or project of the BATLOGGER. The project ID can be any text. It is part of the file names of the recordings and the corresponding .XML files and it is written into the .XML files, too. Example : The full alias prj4711 Lutersarni test device will define prj4711 as the project ID.

5 Air Pressure Value

In order to deliver the correct relative air pressure at the current location, the BATLOGGER needs to be calibrated at least once for each location. Please check the current realtive air pressure at the BATLOGGER location at various weather sites on the internet. Put the found value into the input box and press SAVE. Now the BATLOGGER is calibrated for its current location.

6 Recording Event

Whenever a bat call is detected by the BATLOGGER, the BATLOGGER records the bat audio to a WAVE audio file. In addition, the BL Connect service is informed about the new recording. This parameter defines, how the BATLOGGER provides the information about the new recording to the BL Connect service. As this parameter has an impact on the amount of data which is exchanged between the BATLOGGER and the BL Connect service, you might review the current setting according to your needs.
