New Controls Save during acquisition?: When selected, data is streamed to disk continuously during GRAB/LOOP acquisitions. The number of frames (# Frames) that can be entered is unlimited.# Frames/File: Some users may prefer to separate ('chunk') data from very long acquisitions into several smaller files. This control specifies the number of frames to log to each file during the acquisition. As further data is collected, a new data file is automatically created. When this option is selected, a three-digit number (e.g. 001, 002, etc) is appended to the filename, following an underscore. The number is auto-incremented as each new file is added. Thus, if 3000 frames are collected with 500 frames/file, with Basename='BehaviorExpt' and Acquisition #=1, specified in the *Main Controls* window, there will be six files named _BehaviorExpt1\_001_ through _BehaviorExpt1\_006_. If this value is _Inf_, or the _\# Frames/File_ specified exceeds the _# Frames_, file 'chunking' is disabled, and all data is logged to a single file, named as usual (e.g. _BehaviorExpt1_).

If acquisition is interrupted, whether by selecting Abort..., or by some other event, data logged to the file has been found, in testing thus far, to be readable and uncorrupted. Thus, file chunking is not generally advised/required.
ScanImage 3.5 writes image data to uncompressed TIF files, as did ScanImage 3.0. Files can become quite large. The use of data compression will be added in future versions.
