There are two save operations for CF Cards/USB storage devices.
Normal Save
When the command is written to the [CSV Control Word Address], data stored in the display unit is output as a CSV file.24.11.4.1 Process for Normal Save
Automatic Save
When the defined number of samples are stored in the display unit and the sampling cycle is complete, data stored in the display unit is output as a CSV file. This option is available when in the [Mode] tab, [Extended] dialog box, you select the [Overwrite old data after finishing the specified cycles] check box.24.11.4.2 Process for Auto Save
This address controls the writing of data to a CF Card/USB storage device. It writes a command to the address after designating a file number.
Command/Status
When the command to the bottom 8 bits of the control addresses is written after specifying the file number, data is written to a CF Card/USB Storage device. The process results (status) are shown in the top 8 bits of the address.

*1For methods to store data, refer to 24.11.2.2 Data Storage Methods.
When you change the value of status "2000h" or change the file number during the Auto Save process, Auto Save is exited and data up to then is written to the CF Card/USB storage device. The write command is not processed. The status will show successful completion "0000h".
When a value other than "0001h", "0020h", or "0021h"is written in a command or the value "0021h" is written instead of "0020h", it will cause a write error "0100h".
When the Auto Save command "0020h" is written in the sampling group without the selection of the [Overwrite old data after finishing the specified cycles] check box, "0300h" error occurs.
File Number
Designates the ***** portion in the file name, "SA*****.csv", when saving to the CF Card/USB storage. The file number can be from 0 to 65535. Set the file number before writing the command.
The CSV File is saved to the folder created in the CF Card/USB storage device automatically. The folder is created with a fixed folder name for each sampling group.
