6.8.2 Using the BDF file format
When selecting the BDF file option (36, Figure 6.17 the box with the available
streams becomes inactive since it is not possible to collect multiple streams
when recording a .BDF file format. However, .BDF format generally takes 25%
less disk space than if the same data is recorded in .XDF and is generally
supported by a larger number of post-processing software as a traditional
EEG file format.
The other steps are exactly the same as when recording the .XDF file format,
i.e. choose the path for the recording the .BDF file (either manually or by
clicking the button browse and navigate to the folder by GUI).
When the path is set and the filename is given, simply press the start
recording button.
To stop the recording, press the recording button in the Signal display
window (denoted as number 32 in Figure 6.11).
