 VBZ Compression uses variable byte integer encoding to compress Oxford
 Nanopore signal data.
-
 The performance of VBZ is achieved by taking advantage of the properties of the
 raw signal and therefore is most effective when applied to the signal dataset.
 Other datasets you may have in your Fast5 files will not be able to take
 advantage of the default VBZ settings for compression. VBZ will be used as the
 default compression scheme in a future release of MinKNOW.
