Binary Acoustic
Technology's acoustic monitoring products are modular and can be
configured to support a variety of acoustic monitoring
requirements.
This guide will lead you through both the basic system elements
that we offer and how to configure them to meet your specific
needs.
The first section in this guide discusses Binary Acoustic
Technologies basic system elements in order familiarize the

System Elements |
The ultrasonic receivers
act as the combination of a high performance ultrasonic
microphone , signal conditioner, and digitizer. They
receive bat calls through the microphone element, digitize
the calls and then transfer them to a computer or a
recording unit over a high speed USB 2.0 interface.
They operate in real-time, sending a continuous data stream
to the computer which makes them ideal for either long
duration and short duration recording.
The receivers can be
operated using a laptop computer and SPECT'R software or
they can be operated using the FR125 field recorder.
Both of these options are outlined below.
SPECT’R Analysis and
Recording Software
The SPECT'R software is used to operate an ultrasonic
receiver from a laptop or ultra-mobile computer. It is
essentially a hard-disk recorder that includes a built in
sonographic analyzer. SPECT'R supports either continuous or
snapshot recording. It includes a "call activated"
recording feature that creates snapshots only when bat calls
are detected. SPECT'R runs on Windows XP/Vista/7.
FR125
Field Recorder
The FR125 is an
unattended field recording unit. It is intended for
overnight and longer
duration recording.
SCAN’R
Automated Call Analysis
Processor
SCAN'R is a post
collection processing tool. It automatically scans files
and file directories searching for recordings with bat calls.
It generates either SonoBat or Anabat compatible parameter
sets. It also runs on Windows XP/Vista/7.
