Preset Schedules

The Song Meter Configurator app includes preset schedules for several common recording schedules. You can use these as-is, or you can them as a starting point for a custom schedule.1

Preset schedules for ultrasonic recording are:

  • Record bats 24 hours a day (subject to triggering).

  • Record bats from sunset to sunrise (subject to triggering).

  • Record bats 30 min before sunset to 30 min after sunrise (subject to triggering).

Preset schedules for acoustic recording (when the optional acoustic microphone is connected) are:

  • Record birds/frogs 24 hours a day

  • Record birds/frogs for 30 minutes of every hour.

  • Record birds/frogs for 5 minutes of every hour

  • Record birds/frogs from sunrise to sunset

  • Record birds/frogs 2 hours around sunrise and 2 hours around sunset.
