6) Perform a tilt test

4) Insert a media card
If you plan to archive events or record continuous data
on a removable SD media card, you must insert the
card into the SD card slot behind the media bay door
(see image below). When the card is properly inserted
and ready for use, the Media eject LED will turn solid
red for 10 minutes and then turn off. If you want to
remove the card, push the Media eject button and
wait for the Media eject LED to become solid green,
indicating that it is safe to remove the card.
A tilt test involves rotating the TitanSMA while watching
the acceleration in real-time on the Waveform page of
the Web interface.
To avoid clipping, the device should be in 2 g or 4 g mode
when performing a tilt test.
If you want to perform more detailed testing, you can
perform a levelled and aligned freestanding installation
using the supplied TitanSMA fixed foot. See the TitanSMA
Installation Quick Reference or the Help for instructions.
