About divided saving
• Large quantities of waveform data can be divided and saved as multiple files.
• Saving divided data makes a folder automatically, and creates one or more
waveform files and an index (IDX) file in the folder.
• Then by loading the IDX file, the data in the waveform file(s) is loaded as a
batch.
• When divided saving is selected, delete save is not available.
• When using the memory division function, divided saving cannot be performed
automatically.
See: "Batch load of waveform data" ( p.78)
"Chapter 12 Memory Division Function" (
 p.201)
Thinning
A large amount of space is required for saving files in text format. Data thinning
enables a reduction in file size.
Example: When [1/2] is set, every second data item is saved. The number of
data items is reduced to a 1/2.
