3.6.1.3 Save to File

The Set Save to File Name check box allows the data captured in the GUI to be dumped to a CSV file. Clicking this check box displays a windows file selector screen. Select the directory to store the CSV and set the name for the CSV. After clicking Save in the pop up window, press the Start Capture button to start saving data and click the Stop Capture button to copy all the data into the indicated CSV file. When capturing data with save enabled, the GUI initially dumps the data to temporary .npy files. After clicking Stop Capture, this data is written over to the CSV file and .npy files removed.
