Naming Trace Files Automatically

Naming Trace Files Automatically

Each time you start an acquisition, the application suggests a file name
based on autonaming settings. This file name appears on the upper part of
the graph and the linear view.

The file name is made of a static part (alphanumeric) and a variable part
(numeric) that will be incremented or decremented, according to your
selection, as follows:

After saving a result, the unit prepares the next file name by incrementing
(or decrementing) the suffix.

Note: If you choose not to save a particular trace file, the suggested file name will

remain available for the next trace you acquire.

This function is particularly useful when working in Template mode 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.

By default, traces are saved in native (.trc) format, but you can configure
your unit to save them in Bellcore (.sor) format (see Selecting the Default
File Format
on page 93).

reaches the highest possible value

with the selected number of digits

(for example, 99 for 2 digits), then

restarts at 0.
