Delete and Save Conditions
• The files in the directory in which measurement files are created are subject to
deletion.
• Files with the ".MEM" extension are recognized as waveform files. Therefore,
even a file of a completely different type is likely to be deleted if it has the
".MEM" extension, because it is recognized as waveform file.
• Files are determined to be new or old by their time stamp (date and time of
creation).
• A file is not deleted if there is no more than one waveform file for which
recording has finished in the directory. If an attempt is made to delete a wave-
form file that is too large for the capacity of the CF card, the file may not be
able to be deleted. As a guideline, ensure the size of one file becomes less
than a 1/4 that of the available space.
• A search can be performed for up to 5000 files in a directory. If there are more
files than that, the oldest file may not be able to be deleted.
• If you are using split save, the operation is the same as when auto save is per-
formed multiple times without splitting files. Therefore, even a file that was
created by splitting after measuring once is deleted when regarded as old in
terms of time.
