Naming Trace Files Automatically
Naming Trace Files Automatically
Note: The autonaming feature is not available in “offline” mode.
When you activate the automatic file naming function, the application
builds a file name according to your specifications each time you start an
acquisition. You can specify the information you want to include in the file
names and in which order each item should appear.
Note: If you choose not to save a particular trace file, the suggested file name will
remain available for the next trace you acquire.
By setting the default name and number of the first trace to be saved, all
subsequent traces will be saved with the same name and incremental
number structure.
This function is particularly useful when working in Template mode, when
coupling a switch module with the OTDR, or when testing multiple-fiber
cables.
If you deactivate the automatic file naming function, the application will
prompt you to specify a file name. The default file name is Unnamed.trc.
You must be in Advanced mode to activate automatic file naming.
By default, traces are saved in native (.trc) format, but you can configure
your unit to save them in other formats (see Selecting the Default File
Format on page 109).
