Testing Pipistrelle Bat Detectors

If you have just completed your first detector, well done!

Once it has cooled down from the hotplate, the first thing to do is test that it is working correctly. There are several steps covered in the following pages:

1. All detectors – Is the Pico and microphone connected?
2. Pipistrelles and PippyG – Does the switch work?
3. Pipistrelles and Griffs – Testing connected to a device, including recording
4. Pipistrelles – Testing standalone bat detector features
5. PippyG – Testing recording to memory card
