Maximum number of Recorders

Post by Lost »

Hello! Is there a maximum number of recorders an analysis can handle? I know it will somewhat hinder performance, but can it be manually increased? Thank you!

it's an operating system limit on the number of open files an application can have. it might be something you can change in the registry, but personally i wouldn't start messing with that.

suggest you put more data into the individual files if you can.

Thank you! I searched for a thread but didn't find it! :(
Like the person in the thread you posted I can have about 500 output files. I'll try to put more data into each file then...
