Appendix 1 File Size of Display Data and Event Data
This section explains how to calculate the file size of display data files and event data
files. The calculation examples are given for the display data only and event data only
cases. If you are recording both display and event data, calculate the data size of each
and add them together.
Use the calculated file size as a rough guide.
These calculation examples only apply to DXs that do not have the /AS1 advanced
security option.
File Size
A file consists of the following data.
Information other than the sampled data + the sampled data
The maximum size of a single display data file or event data file is 8 MB.
Size of Information Other Than the Sampled Data
Item
Size [Bytes]
File header
216
Channel information
88×N + 32
Group information
96×10 + 32 = 992
Message information
104*50 + 32 (an add message area is reserved by default)
Batch information
832
Sampled data header
80 + 32 + N×8 + 16 + 2
Alarm information header
24 + 8 (add the size of this item even if there is no alarm)
Message information
Up to 104×1050 (varies depending on the number of messages)
Alarm information
Up to 32×5000 (varies depending on the number of alarms)
Release number 3 expansion
information
1696 + 80×N
Expansion information is always stored.
N is the number of channels (measurement channels + computation channels).
Example 1: If display data of 12 measurement channels and 24 computation
channels is recorded. There are no messages or alarms.
216 + (88 Ч 36 + 32) + 992 + (104 Ч 50 + 32) + 832 + (80 + 32 + 36 Ч 8 + 16 + 2) + (24
+ 8) + 4,576
= 15,498 bytes

• Data Size per Sample
Display Data

Event Data
(Number of measurement channels×2 bytes) + (number of computation channels×4
bytes) + 8 bytes (time data)
