Saving the Data

Note: Upon completion of each experiment, always save the acquisition raw data.

The results of the acquisition can be saved in a text file activating the Save button. A dialog window of the following type appears during saving:

Save_option_1

In the upper part the current save path is indicated. The program automatically points to the directory of the last successful saving operation. The new file can be saved on the same system location. Enter name field allows to specify the name for the file. Alternatively, the file can be saved on a different file location activating the Change folder button. A new dialog window appears, similar to the one below.

Save_option_2

It has elements for changing the directory: the navigation buttons in the Folder section (.. indicating one level up). The File name field allows defining the name for the new data file and the Save button will start saving.

The saved file receives a .crv suffix and can be visualized in Excel or a text editor (e.g. Notepad). It is organized in columns: the date of the experiment is stored in yyyy/mm/dd format in the first three columns; the following 3 columns are dedicated to the time of experiment hh:mm:ss. The measurement data corresponding to each activated channel is stored in order on the last columns in the file.

The saving operation in case of multiple devices acquisition is similar to the one described above. The activation of Save button will generate a text file for each device. During the saving procedure, the software appends to the file name the suffix _Di, where i can be 1, 2 or maximum 3.
