Escort 3016B - Manual (Page 84)

12 File management
Page 5
Real time:
Available in Direct, Memory and Go/Nogo modes after validation of Saving Real time (the
File mode is based on this real-time saving).
As soon as the recording is launched, the appliance saves the samples into the file. The file will be
closed as soon as the acquisition is over.
If the acquisition is waiting for a start trigger, the appliance records into the file every dots
before this trigger. After stopping the acquisition, this file will thus include more dots than
the memory block that has been used for the acquisition.
In both cases, Manual or Real-time recording, the date of the file will be the closing date of the file.
Name of the files: the name of each file is made of 12 characters and a number made of 4 digits.
The appliance will automatically increment this digit at each recording.
Only the validated channels (i.e. in ON position; see chapter Use) will be recorded into the file.
Before writing the file, an information window will remind you of the channels that will be saved
and of the number of dots per channel.
The file is made of:
- a heading including the data required for later correctly loading the file (the
configuration of each channel, the sampling rate, etc.)
- the N samples (1 sample = 2 bytes per channel).
