affected by Factory Reset (*RST command) or Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet).

common spreadsheet, database, and data analysis programs that have limitations of 1 million rows per file.
– ON - Sweep data is stored in files named dat00001.csv, dat00002.csv, dat00003.csv, and so on.
– OFF - Sweep data is stored in a single file named dat00001.csv. The limit is the number of bytes allowed by the file
