Saving
Data files that are divided at a specific time interval (saving interval) and held in the internal
memory are automatically saved to an SD memory card (when auto save is set to On). Data
files can also be exported to USB flash memory.

Media FIFO Function
If not enough free space is available when saving a new data file to the SD memory card,
files are deleted in order from the oldest data update date/time to save the new file. This
operation is referred to as FIFO (first in first out).
When saving the data files automatically, you can save the data so that the most recent data
files are constantly retained in the SD memory card. This method allows you to use the GX/
GP continuously without having to replace the SD memory card.
