Tektronix DMM 4050 / SignalExpress, file size limit?

[dconnor]

Sorry for the rookie / noob nature of this question, this is my 1st experience with this type of testing...  I need to record ~210 hours worth of capacitance readings via Tektronix DMM 4050 / SignalExpress & the unit captures 2 readings per second.  Is there a default file size limit that will shut the recording down once it is hit?  If so, how do I alter or remove that limit?

Thanks in Advance,

DRC

Hi dconnor,

In general we recommend using several files for extended or large log sessions. I’m linking some articles on managing log files on Signal Express. I believe they might be helpful for you.

Thanks for the info and links.

I'm now running into a problem with this testing, SignalExpress is throwing a logging error every 30 min - 1 hour & quits collecting data; the error logs lists, "No signal from instrument" but I'm not sure where to begin trying to hunt down the cause.
