It has n influence n the system sftware vlume cntrl. 6. EHSMnitr sftware manual 6.1 Sftware verview 6.1.1 EHSMnitr With EHSMnitr it is pssible using nly ne buttn t recrd file, save it, cnvert t MP3 and even t generate an e-mail message with the recrded file attached r uplad recrd t web server. 6.1.2 LAME MP3 encder MP3 is a frmat fr cmpressed audi strage. MP3 uses psychacustic filters t remve sunds that are inaudible t the human ear, as well as ther methds t cmpress the audi infrmatin. Thus there culd be discernable difference between the riginal and encded audi data (a great depends n the encding parameters). Mdern MP3 encders are very flexible and allw yu t set a lt f parameters, affecting the encding speed and the utput file quality. EHSMnitr uses LAME as default encding engine. LAME is quite fast (encdes faster than real time n a PII-266 at highest quality mde) and prvides a very gd sund quality. Fr mre infrmatin, please visit LAME fficial site at http://www.mp3dev.rg. If fr ne r anther reasn yu d nt like LAME, yu can use any ther MP3 encder that supprts cmmand line interface.

The rest (MP3 encding, generating f the emic-message, uplading it t the emic4all server etc.) will be dne fr yu autmatically. Recrding is always first made t a temprary file. Thus, even if the recrding is finished abnrmally (pwer failure, etc.) the recrded data wuld nt be lst (hwever such file wuld nt be recvered autmatically). It is pssible t assign ne f five pre-defined functins t any f the micrphne buttns (since it is assigned, it becmes a functin f E-mail headset). That means that it is even pssible t assign the same functin t the bth E-mail headset buttns. There are tw ways t use the E-mail headset buttns: Hld dwn. Recrding starts right after the buttn is pressed dwn and lasts while the buttn is held pressed. When the buttn is released, recrding stps. Click.

If yu wuld like t change frm LAME r if yu want t specify the custm encding parameters, yu can chse any ther encder (here and later - external encder) yu like. There is nly ne requirement: the external encder shuld supprt cmmand line interface, i.e. it shuld be pssible t use it frm the cmmand prmpt. Use External MP3 encder By checking this check bx; yu can make EHSMnitr use any external cmmand-line MP3 encder instead f the default encder. Path t executable Specify the full path t the external encder executable file. Yu can enter the path manually in the edit bx r brwse fr the file. If the invalid path is specified in this field, EHSMnitr will attempt t use its wn encder. If fr sme reasns the built-in encder cannt be used as well, then the file will be saved t the same flder and with the same name but in the wave frmat (and with.wav extensin). S, whatever happens, yur recrding will nt be lst. Additinal parameters Specify any additinal parameters, supprted by the external encder. These parameters are passed directly t the encder exe-file withut any check if the external encder really supprts the specified parameters. Generally, the external encder call string shuld satisfy the fllwing template: <full path t encder> <additinal ptins> <full path t surce file> <full path t destinatin file> Parameters are described in the table belw. Table 1. External MP3 encder parameters. Full path t The full path t the external encder executable file. encder Additinal Any additinal ptins. ptins Full path t Full path t the surce wave file. Supplied by EHSMnitr. User des nt have t care abut this surce file path. Full path t Full path t the destinatin mp3 file. If supplied by EHSMnitr, it is always valid. If this path is surce file supplied by the user, the user is respnsible fr validity f this path. Warning! If encding fails due t the invalid path t the destinatin file, r due t the invalid additinal ptins (nt supprted by encder), the riginal recrded wave file will be deleted. Unless yu are able t supply the crrect external encder parameters, it will nt wrk. In general it is quite enugh t use the LAME encder, supplied with EHSMnitr. 6.4.2 File name frmat fr ne-tuch recrding Names fr the files recrded with ne-tuch recrding are generated autmatically based n the user-defined template. The generated file name lks like this: <Prefix><Randm number>.<extensin> Parameters are described in the table belw. Table 2. File name frmat parameters. Prefix An arbitrary string. This string can t include system characters (such as backspace character, new line character, etc.) and any character frm the fllwing set: < > : " / \.

Date/Time based the generated number represents date and time when the recrding is finished, using the fllwing template YYYYMMDDhhmmss, where letters "YYYY", "MM", "DD", "hh", "mm", "ss" represent current year, mnth, day, hur, minute and secnd respectively. Enumerated numbers are generated cnsecutively, i.e. the generated number is the least nt used number (there is n file with the same filename), starting frm zer. File extensin. "Wav" r "mp3" depending n the selected file frmat. 6.4.3 Advanced recrding ptins EHSMnitr sets the minimum recrding time. This means, that any recrding, that lasts less than minimum recrding time is discarded. This can be useful t eliminate recrdings caused by accidental EHS buttn pressing. By default the minimum recrding time is 1 secnd. The minimum recrding time can be any number in the range frm 1 t 262144 (3 days 49 minutes 4 secnds). The maximum recrding time is limited nly by the available hard disk space. 6.4.4 Address bk ptins Use multimedia address bk.
