Recording of Incoming Data

Data received by Scala can be recorded on your computer.

By default, when you first install Scala, data are automatically recorded.

If you want to stop or start the recording of data, click Menu > Stop Recording or Start Recording.

All incoming data is by default recorded in Documents/Marport/SDSRecord.

The name of the SDS files indicates the year, month, day and hour of the beginning of the record, in GMT timezone. Click Menu > Settings > Data Recorder to change the folder where recorded data are saved. Connect in Expert Mode, then click Menu > Settings > Advanced to change the folder where recorded data are saved.

Data recorded can take a significant amount of space on your computer. Go to Settings > Data Recorder and set how much disk space need to remain available on the computer. This will avoid disk overload. When the maximum disk space is reached, the oldest files are deleted as new files are created.

By default, the recording interval is set to 1 month. This means that files older than 1 month are automatically deleted as new files are recorded.

Note: For versions before 01.06.34, files older than 6 months are deleted. If updating Scala to 01.06.34, the period remains 6 months. We strongly recommend to set the period to 1 month in order to save disk space on the computer.
