Continuous

When selected, data will be captured continuously (the Max Messages and Max Time – see above – are irrelevant and disabled).

Maximal time for data capture in Continuous mode is set by the parameter set in the Preferences form (this is used especially for having a time limit for data capturing, even if a very large number is chosen and set, in order to allow control of the file sizes and PC disk space).

In Continuous Data Capture mode, the number of messages displayed in Time View is limited, as well as the total max number of messages to be captured to a file (see paragraph ‎19.1 for details).

After the 'Time View Cyclic Buffer Length' limit is met and when a new message arrives, old messages will be removed from the Time View window (First In First Out). The length of the cyclic buffer is set in the Preferences form (found under the Tools Top Menu).

All messages captured will be saved to the data capture file (.ANL).
