Calculating file sizes


File size is limited by the restraints of the operating system (generally, 2 GB) and the available memory space on your hard drive or disk (depending to which you save the file).
Windows OS
    • AcqKnowledge files (including merged files) cannot exceed 2 GB
    • BSL Lessons and BSL PRO files cannot exceed 2 GB
Mac OS
    • AcqKnowledge 3.9.0 and above files (including merged files) are not limited
    • AcqKnowledge 3.8.2 and below files (including merged files) cannot exceed 2 GB
    • BSL Lessons and BSL PRO files cannot exceed 2 GB
 
Use the following equation to calculate the memory required for your acquisition:

 Memory required (bytes) = [(8C + 2A) x S x T] + 5 k bytes

C = Number of calculation channels
A = Number of analog channels
S = Sample rate (samples/second)
T = Recording time (acquisition length)

5 k bytes = memory required to store file information

Refer to the software guide available under the program Help menu for setup and analysis guidelines when working with large files.
