About Dead time
After a recording length has elapsed, some “dead time” is needed for internal pro-
cessing before recording can resume. No measurement occurs during the dead
time. So to avoid information loss, split data into files at a specified interval by
enabling continuous recording ([Repeat]), and selecting [Split Save] for auto sav-
ing.
