In these types of recording described above, the data of each recording interval is completely
saved in the recording file. To avoid a big amount of data it is additionally possible to save the
data of a recording only, while the "Apply Phases" between the recordings are displayed but
excluded from the data file. This may be the phase during experimental manipulation, for
example while pipetting new compounds and waiting for the effect.
4. Enable the check box "Apply Phase". Start the recording manually. The first phase of this
experiment is the "Apply" phase and the dialog "Set Marker" show up. Write a comment
if necessary and manipulate the experiment. To finish the "Apply Phase" and to start the
recording phase, please click the button "Set Marker".
The data of the recording phase is saved, the data of the apply phase is not saved in the recording
file. The data of the apply phase is displayed in the single channel view, marked by the term
"Monitor".
