*1 When auto saving waveform data and calculation results, automatically generated serial numbers
(up to eight digits) are appended to the specified file name. If no file name is specified, AUTO is
automatically entered.

(XXXX0001.MEM, XXX00001.MEM, XX000001.MEM, X0000001.MEM)

When auto numbering exceeds 9999, the file name characters are overwritten (right to left) until
all eight digits are used for serial numbers. (Example: WAVE9999.MEM, WAV10000.MEM, .. )
*2 When [Deleting] is enabled with auto save, the oldest waveform file is deleted when the SD mem-
ory card is full. When all waveform files within a date folder have been deleted, the folder name
(date) is automatically updated.

(Example:) Before updating: 08-07-17

After updating: 08_07_17_080719_101113 (old date_new date _new day and time)

Hyphens (-) are changed to underbars (_) and the date when the folder name was last changed
is appended. (The example shows a new date and time of July 19th 2008, 10:11:13.)
*3 The TXT file extension is applied except when [Separator:Comma] is selected on the [System]
screen.
*4 Before loading data into a spreadsheet program such as Excel, note that the number of rows that
can be loaded at one time is limited (to 60,000 rows in Excel 97 – 2003, and to one million rows
in Excel 2007).

Larger CSV files can be split by the following methods:
• Use a CSV file-splitting program (downloadable for free from Hioki's website).
• Before saving, select the
[Split Save] saving method in the instrument.
Note: The number of rows recorded per minute with 100 ms recording interval is:
10 (data points per second) x 60 (seconds) = 600 rows
