Many thanks to all those who showed me the bullet hole in my shoe... A few days ago I wrote: > > .... but remember that a 1024-channel data file is four times > > bigger than the same data in 256 channels. After a prompt from Mario, I checked this morning and that statement is wrong! I remember a factor of four in the (good old?) days of HP computer and LYSYS II, but had never bothered to check that change in newer computers. Testing this morning, my 256-channel file was 72078 bytes while the same data (test pulses) in 1024-channel was 142078 bytes, or about double the file size. Just to confuse matters though, the Mac file system uses 130Kb and 195Kb respectively for the same two files on a 2Gb disk.... Now the accuracy of my memory is quite a different matter... ;~) Anyone still running a FACScan with LYSIS? Joseph.
