Description

Save widget considers a data set provided in the input channel and saves it to a data file with the specified name. It can save the data as both tab-delimited and comma-separated files.

The widget does not save the data every time it receives a new signal in the input as this would constantly (and, mostly, inadvertently) overwrite the file. Instead, the data is saved only after a new file name is set or the user pushes Save button.

Example

In the workflow below we load the data into a Scatter Plot widget, where we select a subset of the data instances and push them to the Save widget to store them in a file.
