The number of memory
blocks (up to
~
450)
allocated
to the file.
File memory is shared
with up to 10 menu set-up
stores, which use 16 memory
blocks
each. Thus the maximum number
available to the file varies with
how
many stores are in
use.
A
result
is sent to the file whenever
it is switched [on] and
a
measurement
has
been completed.
If
more results
are sent to the file than
its size permits, the
earliest
filed
results
are discarded to make room
for the latest.
