Use slower sample rates for longer experiments.
If you expect your experiment to run for several hours or
days (or minutes with a very fast sample rate), set the sam-
ple rate as slow as possible. Sampling too quickly when the
conditions being measured do not change quickly uses
space in data memory.
•
Use manual sampling when appropriate.
If you only need a few measurements at a time, use the
Manual Sampling measurement method instead of Auto-
matic Sampling.
•
Use “Smart Sampling” when appropriate.
Use “smart sampling” for any high-speed experiments
where the measurement is expected to change for only a
few seconds (or a fraction of a second). You’ll save the
memory usually occupied by unnecessary data at the begin-
ning and end of the experiment.
