Users Manual
When you click the Ok button, Fluke DAQ will try to create the data file. When
creating the file, if Fluke DAQ detects a file on disk with the same name that Fluke
DAQ is trying to generate, Fluke DAQ will add data to the file or rename it
depending on the File Size Control configuration. After the scans are retrieved
from the PC Card, the dialog will close. The Get Scans function does not erase the
scan data from the PC Card, so you can perform the PC Card Get Scans multiple
times with different combinations of module data if you choose.
Changes made to any Data Group on this dialog will
remain as if changed in the Configuration Section.
