Setting Acquisition Parameters
Results storage Offers the following possibilities:
³
Keep Files in Memory allows you to temporarily store the
results in memory for data processing purposes (for
example, statistics). However, the more files in memory,
the slower the application will be. You may prefer to save
results automatically and to process them later.
³
Automatic Save After Measurement: When you select this
option, the application saves every acquisition
automatically. It is particularly useful when taking multiple
measurements to avoid saturating memory. It is also
possible to save traces manually (see Saving Results Files
on page 63).
³
You may want to define your own prefix, which will be used
as the static part of the automatic file name when a new file
is generated.
The file will automatically be named in the following
format:
The default prefix is FILE.
