Mono Track Name Designators

When recording monophonic Broadcast WAV files each track is recorded in a separate data file. To

identify each track, each file is identified by an underscore and track number suffix. The file of the

first track recorded has “_1” appended to it. The file name suffix, _1 and _2 always correspond to

tracks A and B, respectively. For instance, if track B is the only track recorded, it’s file name suffix

will be _2.

Duplicate File Names

When the 702T detects that a duplicate file name is going to be generated in a specific folder, the

702T changes the file name by adding of a letter suffix before the extension. For instance, if take

numbers are reset but files are recorded to the same folder as previous files, a suffix “A” is added to

the file. If additional duplicate files are generated the letter suffix increments, to B, C, etc.
