Binary Download of Data (compressed)
For studies which collect large blocks of data (64k or more), download the data in a compressed
binary form and later decompress it to a hard disk computer system. This reduces the dump time
from hours to minutes as the data stored in 256K of the VR60 receiver memory may take more than
1600K of disk space.
Use the appropriate software (see Available Software section) to download compressed data to a
data file and to decompress the data.
