Recording sonar data
You can record a sonar data sequence and save it in a time-stamped digital format. You can also re-record data during playback to capture a smaller clip of the data set.
Prerequisites
•  Open the Preferences dialog box to change the default save location, choose your own filename, and add overlay text.
•  Click FileRecording Format to choose between recording raw sonar data (to a “.mmb” file) or recording beamformed sonar data (to a “.imb” file).
Procedure
1 Click the circular icon in the top-right corner of the sonar view to open the Menu Widget.
2 Click Record Data or press F4 to start recording.
When recording is in progress, a flashing recording icon will appear in the top-right corner of the sonar view. The recording filename will also appear here. Observe the percentage of disk space free for recording on the far right of status bar.

Note
A “Save As” dialog box will appear if you have checked the Prompt User for Filename box in the Preferences dialog box.
3 Click Stop Recording or press F4 when you are done.
Your recording will be saved under the folder “C:\KML\M3_V0253\Recordings” by default. You can change this save location in the Preferences dialog box.
