To define a file name and a file path, click "Options" under "Settings".
If you do not want to keep the default settings, browse through you folders and define
the "Data Path".
You can choose any file name, or optional generate the file name automatically based on
the information in the Lab Book (please see chapter "Lab Book"). You use one or more of
the following placeholders in squared brackets to generate a file name:
 [ISO Date] Date taken from your system clock
 [ExpID] Experimental ID taken from the Lab Book
 [Director] Directors’ initials taken from the Lab Book
 [Scientist] Scientists’ initials taken from the Lab Book
 [Technician] Technicians’ initials ID taken from the Lab Book
These characters create the "Base Filename", too. If additional experiments are started without
modifying the file name, the old file will not be overwritten. Instead, a new file will be generated
with the same name plus the addition 0001, 0002 and so on.
Hint: It is useful to characterize the "Base Filename" by date first, because in this case the files
are listed in order of appearance in windows explorer.
The "*.ini" configuration file "Ini File Location" is displayed. This is fixed for the program and
cannot be changed.
Warning: Please do not modify the "*.ini" configuration file or the location of the file!
When using more than one instance of LTP-Director, you can choose different data path' s
for each instance, or you can use one data path only. The number of the instance is displayed.
