Thinning
A large amount of space is required for
saving files in text format. Data thinning
enables a reduction in file size.
• When [2] is set, every second data item
is saved. The number of data items is
reduced to a 1/2.
• When [10] is set, every tenth data item is
saved. The number of data items is
reduced to a 1/10.

About divided file saving
Large quantities of waveform data can be
divided and saved as multiple files.
Saving divided data creates one or more
waveform files and an index (IDX) file
.
Then by loading the IDX file, the data in
the waveform file(s) is loaded as a batch.
