You have the option to compress single 2D measurements. Follow the instructions step by step:

First of all start the 2D Event Explorer at WinARace with the shortcut key <ALT + E> or click at the button <Change event> in the WinARace start window.

Select all 2D measurements you want to compress directly from the 2D Explorer window (at the middle list view (panel) Use the <SHIFT> (keep it pressed) and the arrow up / down keys if you want to select more than one file. If you want to select a single measurement in the list view located at various positions keep the <CTRL> key pressed and select all measurements after one another with the left mouse button.

If you have selected all measurements you want to compress, press the shortcut keys <CTRL + ALT + C> or the corresponding toolbar device button. In the following figure you will see the toolbar device of the 2D Explorer window. If you prefer the keyboard use the main menu item 2D File Tools / Compress selected Measurement(s)

In the next dialog you must enter a destination directory (for compressing). To do so you have the following three possibilities:

• Enter directly a new (=not existing directory) in the corresponding edit field.
• Use the history list (last ten used directories)
• Select an existing directory from a standard open dialog. To do so use the dialog open button

At least confirm all settings with the button <Ok>. The compression operation starts automatically. Afterwards you get a corresponding message.

During the compress operation you will get a status window.

Close the information window via the button <OK> and return automatically to the 2D Explorer window

The file mask of the 2D Explorer window will be automatically enlarged. So it is possible to select and choose ZIP archived if you want to decompress them in further time. At the right panel of the explorer window you will a small information about the ZIP archive.
