This setting specifies the time limit of a data file. No data file of the corresponding data storage will exceed this time limit.

The limitation also applies to triggered recordings. This is particularly useful for avoiding "overlong" data files in case a defined stop trigger does not fire, e. g. due to incorrectly set levels or edges. The time limit is dominant over the stop trigger. If you want to use a stop trigger for stopping the recording, make sure that the time limit is high enough for the expected recording time.

If neither a start nor a stop trigger is set, the recording is only time-controlled. This is a continuous recording with a number of consecutive data files of the same length, i.e. recording time.

You may directly enter the values for Hour, Minute and Second or use the arrow buttons.

The maximum recording time is one week (168 h : 59 min : 59.9 s).

Please note, that the data file size can grow significantly depending on number of signals, profile and file time. The data file size is limited to 64 GB.
