Description
Enables/disables FastSave acquisitions. If acquisitions are running, selecting the
FastSave acquisition data checkbox immediately begins saving acquisition data to files.
If the instrument is paused, FastSave acquisitions will not begin until you select Run.
Specifies the file format of the FastSave acquisition data files. Files can be saved in
TIQ or MAT format.
Specifies the base name for acquisition data filenames. When acquisition data files are
saved, a 24-character timestamp is appended to the base file name. The maximum base
file name length cannot exceed 232 characters.
Specifies the directory location where files will be saved. Files can be saved on the
local hard drive, a network location or even a USB- connected drive. However, due to
the time required to transfer files across a network or by USB, the local hard drive is
the only recommended location.
Specifies the number of files to be saved each time a FastSave acquisition is started.
The number of files that can be saved is limited only by the storage space available.
Each saved acquisition file uses about 3.3 MB of space.
