channel on the DAB Radcap card. More information on input card
configuration is in Sections 4 and 5 of this manual.
b. The AM, FM and/or DAB+ radio capture cards, if fitted, each
require an external antenna. A standard 50-ohm BNC connector
is provided on the cards for this. If the antennas are mounted in
an elevated position, it is recommended that external lightning
protection be installed. Do not place the receiving antennas close
to any computer, telecommunications or electrical equipment that
may cause interference to reception.

Archiving
Flashlog 8 provides optional parallel recording of selected channels to a
permanent archive location on the network, either continuously or on
selected days and time ranges.

Because the Flashlog recorder runs as a service and services use the
computer’s credentials when accessing the network, archiving can only be
used when the Flashlog PC and the archive storage location are members
of a Windows domain. Computer credentials don’t exist outside a domain
environment.

Setting up the archive store

The remote network location where the permanent archive is to be stored
has to be configured to allow Flashlog to write to it.

On the target machine, open Explorer and go to the top-level folder where
the archives are to be written, right-click on it, select Properties and click on
the Sharing tab.

Archive events
Each archive event is created on an audio source, be it a line input, received
AM or FM station, DAB service or internet stream. The event specifies its
active days, start and end times, and network destination folder. Up to 256
events can be created on each audio source.

To create or edit archive events, click on the Arch button on the required
source. For DAB services, clicking on the Arch button on an ensemble will
bring up a table of buttons for each active audio service on that ensemble.

The Archival Events dialog box contains a list of existing events for the
source. Double-click on an event to edit it, select an event and click on the
Delete button to remove it, or click on Insert to create a new event.
Fig 5-8: Archival Settings Page

When OK is clicked, the logger will attempt to create a temporary file in the
destination folder. The Arch button will illuminate green if this succeeds
or red if there’s an error. In the latter case, hovering the mouse over the
button will show the error message.

When an event begins, a day folder is created beneath the event’s top-level
folder, named yyyy-mm-dd to represent the date, with the actual archived
audio stored within that folder. The audio file’s name will be

common audio player applications, including Windows Media Player and

QuickTime, do not support 960-sample frame format. The inability to play
these .mp4 files is not a fault of the Flashlog software. The free VLC media
player will play these files.

The archives are stored in real time, operating in parallel with the normal
Flashlog recording process. This avoids the need to merge compressed files
or to decode and re-encode compressed audio. While some file formats
allow playback while the recording is in progress, this is not recommended
as the file length information and possibly other header information will be
invalid.

It is your responsibility to make sure there is sufficient space in the

storage location. Flashlog considers the archives to be permanent and will
not delete older ones to make room for newer ones.

Windows Recording Device Settings

Windows maintains audio engine settings for each recording device. These
settings can be accessed by right-clicking on the loudspeaker symbol at the
bottom right-hand corner of the screen, selecting Recording Devices and
then choosing Properties for each device. Of particular concern for Flashlog
8 is the Default Format setting under the Advanced tab, which must be set
as follows for each line input device.

2 channel, 24 bit, 48000 Hz must be selected for each line input.

The AM, FM and DAB+ Radcap inputs operate at a fixed sampling rate and
require no adjustment.

 9 Data Storage Location

Disc Layout
The Flashlog executables are installed in c:\logger while the audio and
associated data is in c:\audio. A share called “Audio” is created on the latter
folder with “Everyone” granted read-only permission.

Within the c:\audio folder, the Line, AM and FM radio sources are stored in
separate folders, each with subfolders named logger1 through to loggerN.
Within each of those are subfolders for each day and hour. Each .wma file
within the hour folders contains one minute of audio.

The DAB\DAB+ ensemble streams are stored under c:\audio\DAB with a

separate subfolder for each ensemble based on the transmitted ensemble
ID number. Within those are day, hour and minute folders, with the latter
containing .raw files storing one minute of each active sub-channel. Service
information for each minute is stored in the [Link] files.

Internet streams are stored under c:\audio\Internet with a separate

subfolder, identified by a unique 8-character code, for each stream. Within
the streams are subfolders for each day and hour, with the one-minute
audio files stored as .aac or .mp3 depending on the stream encoding.

In all cases, audio peak level information for the waveform display is stored
in .pkm, .pkt, .pkh and .pkd files for the minute, ten-minute, hour and day
spans respectively.

If anti-virus software is installed on the machine, it is essential to block

any scanning of the c:\audio folder as this will interfere with Flashlog 8’s
recording process. Installation of any third party software, including
anti-virus programs, is entirely at your own risk, and Sonifex Ltd takes
no responsibility for any interference such software may cause to the
operation of the software.
