    • Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

    • Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
    • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
    • Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows for clean, organized data.
