Thanks Alex, spot on as usual. The computer/usb driver is recognising the AM as the data logger. Have used another computer to configure for now as updating drivers hasn't rectified and the data logger driver is proving stubbon to remove. Brian.

Hello, I'm just trying to set my old 32bit laptop up for field use and am encountering the same problem as above with the download automatically being 64bit. Is there a way to select a 32bit version of the configuration software? or perhaps an older version that was 32bit?

Thanks Alex, that's very useful and I can immediately start to see some fantastically useful implications such as deployment times not being limited by data storage capacity or that lower storage capacity cards (which are cheaper) can be used to get the same deployment times or better (subject to batteries being up to it). Please can you confirm that my understanding outlined below is correct for the amplitude threshold recording facility: · The size of silent periods/gaps relates to the threshold value that is set. · The threshold value that is set relates to KB and therefore milliseconds. · Each 32KB segment (32000B) equates to 85 milliseconds (when using a 192 khz sample rate, would be more like 64 milliseconds if using 256Khz). · So if an amplitude threshold of 512 is selected (and 192Khz sample rate) any gaps of 1.32 milliseconds (85 milliseconds/32768 x 512) or less with no data (depending on how low, band or high filters have been set) will be removed from the recordings. Is that correct or would it be gaps of this size or more that would be removed. · The amplitude threshold will only work effectively if low, band or high filters have been set to reduce non target sound/background noise. Otherwise a gap will need to be present across all frequencies within the range of the microphone? Hoping I have understood correctly. Brian.

Peter - those look like an awesome set of updates, just having a look at trying some of them out now. Can you direct me to some guidance on the amplitude threshold recording function and how this works/what it does? Many thanks Brian.

@Alex Rogers thanks Alex that sounds good to me.

You say that AudioMoth 2 will be able to drain the batteries completely and access their full capacity. Does this mean that it won't be suitable for use with rechargeable batteries? (I.e. as completely discharging them tends to render them useless). My findings so far is that AudioMoth 1 works well with the "Instant" high-capacity rechargeable batteries I use. Many thanks for your work developing it!
