also define a maximum size of the files.
Tip
The data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of
EK80 data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your
Processor Unit is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the
data to an external storage device.
Set up the file and folder parameters before you start the recording. If you wish to
save your recorded data on an external hard disk, make sure that it is connected to
the Processor Unit.
