## Description

Turns on Save Compressed. Around 30-40% compression (or more with larger files) can be achieved, but it takes significantly more time to save than when compression is turned off. Loading compressed files, however, is just a little slower than loading uncompressed files.

This option is available for the following data formats as selected with the `:DISK:WAVeform:SAVE:FTYPe` command:

- Waveform Files, HDF5 (*.h5) file type
