Limitations of Waveform Recording
There are some limitations to perform the waveform recording as follows.
• Sampling Duration value:
Limited by the size of the storage device, which must be larger than the total 
file size.
• Sampling Rate value:
Limited by the transfer rate of the storage device, which must be faster than 
the data rate.
• Missing data
When the waveform recording is in progress, missing data may occur. Then, 
the CX3300 displays a message to report that missing data occurs and 
continues the waveform recording as scheduled.
There are mainly two reasons which cause the missing data.
• The transfer rate of the storage device may be slower than the data rate.
• If the slide switch of Trigger for Triggered Segmentation is set to ON (Data 
Logger > Recording > Trigger), it may take a long time to extract and tag 
the waveform segments.
To avoid the missing data:
• Set the sampling rate slower, or reduce the number of channels.
• If the slide switch of Trigger for Triggered Segmentation has been set to 
ON (Data Logger > Recording > Trigger), set it to OFF.
• If the slide switch of Trigger for Triggered Segmentation must be ON, 
change Similarity Threshold (Data Logger > Recording > Similarity). Lower 
similarity threshold reduces the number of the tags and comparisons 
between waveform segments. It will make the time for extracting 
waveform segments short.
