Saving and Importing/Exporting Data

Saving Your Data

You can save all or a portion of the data that you have captured (see below). You can also load a previously saved capture file and save a portion of that file to another file. This feature is useful if someone else needs to see only a portion of the data in your capture file.

There are two ways to save capture data.

On the Main window’s toolbar, you can set up to capture a single file using File > Save As from the analyzer toolbar or you can capture to a series of files.

The file size limit of a capture file is 128 GB. When saving a larger capture is required, the Capture to Series of Files function can be used.


Saving the Capture File

Once the capture and analysis are completed, you can save the captured file for future analysis. All data captured from starting a session (Start Record) to stopping a session (Stop Record) is saved.
