Airtool 2 offers options to limit the size of the capture files and the number of files generated for a given capture session. You can also configure Airtool 2 to rotate capture files.
To limit the size of a capture, go to the Airtool 2 menu bar extra > Settings > General and select Limit each capture to.
You can limit a capture by:
- File size (
kilobytes or megabytes)
- Time (
seconds or minutes)
- Number of frames
If capture limits are set, you can use ⇧-Click when selecting a capture option from the Airtool 2 menu to ignore limits for that capture session only.
If you have configured Airtool 2 to generate multiple files per capture, you can also have Airtool 2 rotate the capture files.
Capture file rotation is useful if you need to run a capture for extended periods and cannot afford to use a lot of disk space to save the captures. For example, you may need to keep capturing traffic until an issue occurs and then have available for analysis, the transmitted frames before or after the event. You can avoid creating large capture files by enabling file rotation with several files and a maximum capture size per file appropriate for the troubleshooting scenario.
To rotate the capture files, go to the Airtool 2 menu bar extra > Settings > General and select Rotate capture files.
