Example:
Suppose that the user adds two history data. The data length of the fist history
data is set to 1 and the sample number of the first history data is set to 10000.
The data length of the second history data is set to 2 and the sample number of
the second history data is set to 20000. Both these two history data all have the
time and date recorded, so the required dat file capacity for these two history
data are:
The file capacity of the first history data = [(6Bytes + 2Bytes) × 10000] =
80000Bytes.
The file capacity of the second history data = [(6Bytes + 2 × 2Bytes) × 20000] =
200000Bytes.
The capacity of Data File Symbol = 8Bytes × 2 = 16 Bytes
Total require: 80000Bytes + 200000Bytes + 16Bytes = 280016Bytes = Approx.
