For a controller named "East Fab #1" with an address of 2, a datalog file name would either begin
with "002" (if Address selected) or "East_Fab_#1" (if Name selected).

For a run started on February 4th, 2000, at 2:13:45 pm, the Time Stamp would be either "000204"
(if YYMMDD selected), "00020414" (if YYMMDDhh selected), "0002041413" (if
YYMMDDhhmm selected), or "000204141345" (if YYMMDDhhmmss selected).

If "Name" and "YYMMDDhh" were selected, the complete file name prefix would be
"East_Fab_#1_00020414", and the new datalog filename would be
"East_Fab_#1_00020414.log". If a file with that name already existed, however, the new file
would be renamed "East_Fab_#1_00020414_1.log".

When a datalog is started, and a filename is created, duplicate filenames are checked for; if a file
with the created name already exists, the new filename's prefix has an underscore and a numerical
value appended to it to create a unique filename.
