Auto Save Function Touch the Auto Save tab to set auto save settings and auto backup settings. By using the
auto save setting, the contents of the capture memory which is used for monitoring can be automatically saved continuously for a long time as a measurement log file (auto save file) of a specified size to the built-in SSD or to a storage device such as an SD card. As you can check the auto-save file which is automatically saved during the communication failure occurrence time by the file management function, it is useful for clarifying communication failures of unknown cause that occur rarely. In addition, as the capture memory loses data when the power is turned off, the latest 16Mbytes of measurement data is automatically backed up to the built-in eMMC at the end of measurement. If you want to automatically save the entire measurement data or delete the data when you turn off the power, change the setting of the auto backup function.

Preparation and settings

When recording to an external storage device, set the device with an appropriate capacity according to the time you want to record continuously. If the speed of writing to a storage device is relatively slow to the amount of data to be stored, the writing will not be in time and log data will be lost.

Save Device

Specify the built-in SSD, SD card, or USB memory inserted in the unit.

Auto Save

Set the condition of the auto save function.
