If you select , , or , the data
is stored to disk in IEEE-64 bit real format (for LIF disks), and 32 bit PC format for
DOS disks. This makes the DOS data files half the size of the LIF files.

❏
If data array is saved along with any other selected array, the
instrument state is not saved, and therefore, cannot be recalled.
6. Choose the type of format you want:
❏Choose for all applications except CITIfile, S2P, or CAE
applications.
