Whats new in Version 9.6

V9.6 adds a restore facility for statics recording, useful if the unit has been left in the hands of a novice.

As requested by various ecologists, the current time is shown on the display, along with peak energy frequency and the power bar. Useful for note taking.

File naming now allows up to three user defined characters. Or a single user character with the peak energy frequency in the file name as before.

The backlight will dim down after 3 hours to save a bit of power if there is no user interaction.

Nice thing about V9.6 Sleep mode is that you can set up the RPA2 and just hand it to a total novice, they don't need do anything more than leave it deployed somewhere, It will wake , record and sleep. Perferct.

V9.6 is compatible with all Peersonic hardware. Hardware is created in software with the XMOS processor.


Product Information

Read RPA

For those using static equipment a direct SDcard to PC reader might be useful. The program allows a BatFAT Peersonic SD card to be read directly from a PC card reader, it is fast. The naming is changed to date and time format.

If you have a thousand files or so you might find this useful, it will work with the handheld equipment also, but this does mean opening the plastic enclosure.
