A database on the WASSP Processor can be reduced in
size by converting it from a high resolution to a medium
resolution database. When this is done the grid size is
changed from 0.25 to 0.5 metres.
Before reducing the database, carry out the database
export as above, as all high resolution data will be lost
during the reduction process.

reduction is indicated below the database list.

by default. This can be changed by clicking
on the button. Any location on any hard drive can be used and the location can be changed
whenever necessary.
Be aware that if you change the database file path
while recording to a database, that database will
no longer be visible and data loss can occur.
