The

Data Files

dialog specifies a file prefix and store location for the

data files to be downloaded.
As the instrument may contain data from many different sampling

runs, the downloaded data will be split into individual files, each one

representing a single run.

The

File Prefix

defines the first six characters of the file name for

downloaded data. You may want to add a hyphen (as shown below),

to separate the date from the prefix. The last two digits are a unique

number allocated automatically as each series of runs is downloaded.
For example, if the data directory already has files identified as:
Factory-08-02-00-01.DAT

Factory-08-02-00-02.DAT
and the instrument contains two sampling runs, after downloading

the files will have been added to the end of the list as follows.
Factory-08-02-00-01.DAT

Factory-08-02-00-02.DAT

Factory-08-02-00-03.DAT

Factory-08-02-00-04.DAT.
A warning will be given if the software detects that more than 99 files

with the current prefix are to be downloaded. If this occurs, define a

new file prefix before commencing download.
