File Compression

WinDarab supports WinDarab files using channel data compression.

Starting with WinDarab v7.08.003 WinDarab files can use a format extension allowing WinDarab/DataLoggerImport to compress channel data in WinDarab files.

• This reduced the WinDarab file size by ~ 70-90% of the uncompressed size.

Important:

• Starting with WinDarab v7.08.003 files can take advantage of channel data compression.
• Both, WinDarab and DataLoggerImport, have options in their program settings to DISABLE data compression. The default is ENABLE data compression!
• Starting with WinDarab v7.07.036 support to open WinDarab files using data compression was added. Nevertheless WinDarab v7.07 cannot create compressed files.
• If users/teams start using v7.08 but need backward compatibility to WinDarab v7.07.035 and before, they have to DISABLE data compression.
