Data Storage Panel
The Data Storage Panel is easily recognized by its Snapshot [camera] button and the bar for Current Data
Record / History File Size.
The bar graphically indicates how full the FIFO file is. Two numbers, separated by a slash, reside just
below the progress bar. In the example this is 500 / 500. The first number is the current data record
number; the second is the number of records that can be stored in the FIFO file, also referred to as the
History File Size. In this case the data file is full.
Clicking the (camera) button will save “N” seconds of data to the history file; where “N” is
defined in the Storage Tab [in the Configuration Panel]. The data storage panel includes the Historical Data
File Date Range.
Note that you can open the Plot Window from this panel by double-clicking on the capacity bar, the record
numbers, or the date text.
