Start a Recording

To start a recording use the script: record_data.py (hyperlinked to our Public GitHub).

The script has a pre-defined timer:

RECORDING_TIMER: int = 36000 # 10 hours in seconds

However, this value can be altered to run recordings for varying lengths of time.

E.g.:

  • For an Open-ended Recording: 172800 # 48 hours in seconds
  • For a Sleep Recording: 36000 # 10 hours in seconds
  • For a Short Recording: 120 # 2 minutes in seconds

To stop the recording, either wait for the timer to run out or:

  • For Windows: Enter the cancellation command in the terminal running the script, this would be Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Shift+C

  • For Mac OS: Enter the cancellation command in the terminal running the script, this would be Ctrl+. or Ctrl+C
