For example, typing force displays all signals that include “force” in their labels.
You can also type a part of a signal description to display a signal type. For
example, to display displacement signals, you can type disp rather than
“displacement”.

Buffer Size Specifies the maximum number of data elements the buffer will store before
data is written to the disk.
Data Header Includes a label that describes the data on each buffer that is written to a file.
Destination Specifies where data is saved:
Specimen data file—the process writes buffers of data to the MPT
specimen.dat file in the Specimen.
User-specified data file—the process writes buffers of data to a separate data
file in the Specimen (yourname.dat).
Discard data—the process will not write data to the Specimen.
User Data File Specifies the name of the file where data is saved. This lets you create separate
data files in the MPT specimen. This control is enabled only when you have
selected User-specified data file in the Destination list above.
Buffer Type Specifies the buffer type.
Write First Data Header
Only Specifies if the data header is written for each buffer or suppressed after the
first header is written. If disabled (unchecked), a data header is written for each
buffer.
Note This feature is not recommended for procedures with multiple data
acquisition processes writing data to the same data file.
