Result memory management:
The memory is split into fractions, each being 1/10 of the total memory size.
A 1/10 fraction is allocated at start of a measurement.
If the measurement exceeds the allocated fraction(s), an additional 1/10 fraction is
allocated.
Up to 10 measurement can be stored.
Measurement termination options:
Use free storage: Stop automatically when free result memory fractions are used.
Use all storage: Stop automatically when all 10 result memory fractions are used.
Continuous: Do not stop automatically - overwrite in steps of 1/10 fractions if
necessary.
