Warning

There is no limitation in how big the generated file can be. The bigger the data set is, the greater the file size will be. Because of this, we do neither recommend nor encourage the usage of this method. It is available only due to popular demand. Instead we recommend to write each file to a separate file. See writeDataFrame() of AromaUnitSignalBinaryFile for more information.
