Method for collecting and storing data

摘要

A data collection and storage method is disclosed wherein data is stored in a sequence of files in time-serial fashion. Data is first stored in a temporary file, following which the temporary file is redesignated so as to receive the name of one of a series of permanent storage files. This arrangement allows the permanent storage files to be read out while data continues to be collected, eliminating a bottle neck which heretofore existed in the art.
