Naming Trace Files Automatically
Naming Trace Files Automatically
Each time you start an acquisition, the application suggests a file name
based on autonaming settings. This file name appears on the upper part of
the graph and the linear view.
The file name is made of a static part (alphanumeric) and a variable part
(numeric) that will be incremented or decremented, according to your
selection, as follows:
After saving a result, the unit prepares the next file name by incrementing
(or decrementing) the suffix.
Note: If you choose not to save a particular trace file, the suggested file name will
remain available for the next trace you acquire.
If you deactivate the automatic file naming function, the application will
prompt you to specify a file name. The default file name is Unnamed.trc.
By default, traces are saved in native (.trc) format, but you can configure
your unit to save them in Bellcore (.sor) format (see Selecting the Default
File Format on page 95).
Note: If you select the Bellcore (.sor) format, the unit will create one file per
wavelength (for example, TRACE001_1310.sor and TRACE001_1550.sor, if
you included both 1310 nm and 1550 nm in your test). The native format
contains all wavelengths in a single file.
If you choose incrementation... If you choose decrementation...
Variable part increases until it
reaches the highest possible value
with the selected number of digits
(for example, 99 for 2 digits), then
restarts at 0.
Variable part decreases until it
reaches 0, then restarts at the highest
possible value with the selected
number of digits (for example, 99 for
2 digits).
