CAUTION
• If you perform data capture with Name File set to Auto, data will be saved in a folder automatically
created with the date as its name.
• If you perform data capture repeatedly with Name File set to Auto, the amount of time taken to begin
measurement will increase as the number of files increases.
In such a case, create a new folder as an alternative destination.
• When you save files, create a folder and then save the files in the folder.
Regardless of the remaining capacity, if you try to save files in the root directory, due to file restrictions
you may not be able to save files.
• The displayed Capture Time may vary according to the sampling interval or number of capture channels.
