Introduction
Recorded data, logs and configuration files stored in the instrument's internal memory can be archived to files created in removable
media. Parameters for archiving data in each process group are set up independently.
For a full description of archiving and archive file formats, see Section 5.5, page 45.
Sample Rates
Data is saved to the archive file at the same rate as it is saved to internal memory, i.e. at either the group's primary or secondary
recording sample rate.
