Type-in the value

Type-in the maximum value of the volume (file) size containing one or more recordings.

If the size of recording for export exceeds the set one, then it will not be split.

When the recording is added to the volume, the size of recording is expected to equal the mean value of sizes of all added recordings. A new recording is added to the volume if it does not exceed the volume size. A real size of recording can differ from the assumed one, therefore the volume size can exceed the assumed one.

If the Break To Alarms checkbox is checked, each volume will contain one recording only. The field is disabled if the Native Archive parameter is activated
