Runs
A run is a named stretch of recording. Start one on Live, find it later in Replay or on the console's Runs page.
Record a run
- On Live, type a name in Name this run (optional).
- Press Record. The button reads Recording while it runs.
- Press it again to stop. A note confirms Run 13 saved · 4m 12s.
Record is disabled until a source is connected. With no name, a run is known by when it started.
The arrow beside Record (Recording options) opens Recording settings… and Past runs.
Recording settings
Recording settings… opens the Recording sheet for the active project.
Before recording
Add question picks one of your workspace's run fields. Answers are kept with the run and written into its files. Open a question to set:
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| At Record | Ask each time · Fixed value |
| Required | on or off |
| Default / Value | the answer filled in for you |
With questions set, Record shows them first. A blank required field reads
Needed to start. Run fields are defined on the console's Runs page,
Fields tab, or with phloem field.
After recording
Turn on Save files automatically to write files when each run ends. Off, you export runs from Past runs when you need them.
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| Folder | Choose a folder |
| Formats | TDMS · CSV · CSV · one file · CSV · long · Parquet · MCAP (those this device offers) |
| Split (under More) | One file · By time (min) · By size (MB) |
| Rate | Every sample, or a lower rate in Hz |
| CSV | column separator, decimal separator, decimals |
| Name pattern | placeholders such as {Project} and {Year}; Next file previews the name |
Recent files lists what was written, with Show in folder. Press Save to keep changes.

Each row's More menu:
| Item | Does |

| Download… | opens the export sheet on this run. See Export data. |
| Send to cloud… | sends what only this device holds |

| Delete run… | removes a manual run from this device's list and the cloud's |
A recipe run cannot be deleted, only released. A run still recording cannot be deleted.
