Can I pause/throttle data transmission?

[THX1138]

I have a probe glider over Eve that I would like to use to transmit data back to Kerbin. The problem I have is that it takes a lot of energy to transmit that data and this depletes that batteries, switching off the computer which I need to control the glider attitude. If there was some way I could either limit transmission to short bursts or pause and unpause it then the solar panels could charge the battery between transmission bursts. I can't be the first person to have encountered this scenario so I'm hoping there's already a way to deal with it!

Nothing like that in the stock game I'm afraid. Once you start transmitting, it will continue at a predetermined rate until it's done or the electric charge runs out.

The only solution I know is add more batteries/solar panels. Sorry.

I ran into this problem while trying to drive a rover while transmitting data at the same time. I discovered by accident that by right-clicking on the antenna, you can stop the data transmission. If you resume the transmission after charging the batteries, it picks up where it left off.
