Storing
In this section, you can select what happens to data files and videos during storing.
Data Files
The Always overwrite data files option will overwrite the data file with the same name without asking.
Dewesoft can create zipped data files (.dxz) at the end of the measurement. This means that the data file will take less space since it’s compressed.
By default, Dewesoft will automatically calculate whether there is enough space for storing to start and when it should stop in order to keep the Minimum disk space free.
However, you can set a Minimum disk space or a Minimum time left that will stop storing when reached.
If the limit is reached during measurement, storing will be stopped and the data file will be saved as such.
If there is not enough space to begin the measurement, you will get a warning.
If you enable Stop recording confirmation, you will have to confirm that you want to manually stop storing.
For information on other methods of starting and stopping storing, please refer to Start/Stop Storing.
Default Video Settings
The Online video file format can be either DVI or AVI.
If choosing AVI, you can change Online compression settings, meaning that the video will be compressed during measurement. Please note that the possibility of online compression depends on the performance of your computer.
You can change Offline video compression settings for both video formats.
To lower CPU usage, you can enable Auto compress (offline) after measurement. This will disable online compression.
