Setting Description
Save acq data on Trigger Enables the Save on Trigger function. The list box to the right of the Save acq
data on Trigger check box speci fi es the format of the saved fi le. Acquisition
data fi les can be saved in TIQ (native) format, CSV format, and MAT (Matlab)
format. For descriptions of these fi le formats, see Data, Settings and Picture
File Formats (see page 335) .
When TIQ is the selected fi le type, a fi le is saved after a complete acquisition,
which can include multiple frames. When CSV or MAT is the selected fi le type, a
separate fi le is saved for each frame.
Save picture on Trigger Enables saving a picture of the display when a trigger event occurs. Files can be
saved in PNG, JPG, and BMP format. For descriptions of these
fi le formats, see
Data, Settings, and Picture File Formats (see page 335) .
Max total fi les saved per Run Speci fi es the number of times a Save on Trigger action stores a fi le. After this
limit is reached, no more fi les are saved. The instrument will continue to run, but
no additional fi les are saved when a trigger event occurs.
Keep in mind when setting this number that picture fi les are counted as part of the
total number of fi les. For example, if you set Max total fi les to 100, the instrument
will save 100 acquisitions if only acquisitions are saved or only pictures are
saved. But, if both acquisitions and pictures are saved, then 50 acquisitions
and 50 pictures will be saved.
