Page 104 Chapter 3 Settings and Measurement Start capturing data Captured data is saved into the File 1. Data is captured to File 2 when capturing up to the time or capacity set in "Relay mode time". At this point, the remaining capacity for capturing the destination is 6 files or more. There- fore, the file is switched as it is to continue.
