Specimen
Directory Path
Specifies the directory where your MPT specimens are saved for the current
MPT session.
To choose a new directory, click the Specimen Directory Path button and use
the MPT Specimen Directory Path window to select a new directory.
Changes made to the MPT Specimen Directory Path window apply only to the
current MPT session. The directory path reverts to the default directory path
when MPT is reloaded.
To change the default MPT specimen directory path, use the Project Manager
application to change the Project Settings (see Project Manager information in
the Series 793 Control Software manual, part number 100-147-130).
Name Template Specifies the default label applied to MPT specimens you create.
Note The default MPT specimen name is “spec”. When you create new
MPT specimens, their default labels are “spec01,” “spec02,” “spec03,”
and so forth.
To change the default MPT specimen name, type a name in the Name
Template box. The new name applies to the current MPT session. If you want
to make this new name the new default name, click Set Default. Changes are
effective immediately. The name template may also be changed with the
Project Manager application.
Note It is good practice to add a space after your name entry. This makes
additional instances of the name easier to read; for example, “dogbone
01, dogbone 02, dogbone 03,” versus “dogbone01, dogbone02,
dogbone03.”
