MPT Specimen File Types
About MPT Files
The number of files (and the content of each file) in an MPT specimen depends
on several things, including:
•
The number of times a test was run against the MPT specimen
•
The runtime state of the procedure when the test was closed
•
Whether or not you have specified user-defined data files
•
The processes in the procedure
In most cases, after you run a test, a typical MPT specimen contains the
following files:
•
Specimen.dat—is an MPT specimen data file that contains data acquired by
the data acquisition processes defined in your procedure. If you configured a
data acquisition process to write data to a user-specified data file, the file
you specified appears in the MPT specimen.
•
Specimen.log—is a record of the test events that occurred while the
procedure was running.
•
Specimen.mpp—is a recovery file used to restore the procedure to the same
state it was the last time the test was run
•
Specimen.mps—is a recovery file used to restore the runtime state of the
procedure
•
Specimen.prm—is a file that contains the name of the procedure currently
linked to the MPT specimen. This file also contains any comments entered
with the MPT Specimen Editor.
•
Specimen.lck—is a temporary control file used to prevent instances of
MPT on different stations from simultaneously accessing the same MPT
specimen.
