-  - cmz files contain calculated values, such as the results of model-based calculations, meaning that these do not have to be recalculated every time the file is loaded; and

-like a cmo file, every cmz file requires a cmx file, which contains an index into the .cmz file. this index allows individual trials and signals to be quickly found across many files at once. setting the 'library path' to a root folder will allow inspect3d to browse all of the .cmz files inside that folder and any children folders as well.
