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.
