System Settings Single File Mode

This option allows the analyzer to capture data to a file.  Each time you capture the file you must provide a file name.  The size of each file cannot larger than the number given in File Size (in K). The name of each file is the name you give it in the Name box followed by the date and time. The date and time are when the series was opened.

  • Restart Capturing After Saving or Clearing Capture File

    If the Automatically Restart feature is enabled, the analyzer restarts capture to the file immediately after the file is closed.

  • Wrap File

    When enabled, the analyzer wraps the file when it becomes full. The oldest events are moved out of the file  to make room for new events. Any events moved out of the file are lost.  When disabled, the analyzer stops capture when the file becomes full. Either reset the file or close your capture file to continue.

  • File Size: The size of the file will depend of the available hard disk space.  

    1. Click the Min button to see/set the minimum acceptable value for the file size.

    2. Click the Max button to see/set the maximum acceptable value for the file size.

    You can accept these values, or you can enter a unique file size.  But if you try to close the dialog after entering a value greater than the maximum or less than the minimum, you will see the following dialog.
