Under certain conditions, all filename fields may not be needed. To turn off fields, simply enable or
disable the check boxes in the Upload tab of the Preferences window (see figure here and discussion
on page LV- 45). Be aware that simplifying the filename removes the safeguards to prevent 2 files
having the same name and causing an overwrite/lost information condition. If fields are disabled,
overwrites are more likely to occur.
The following table suggests when it is safe to turn off various filename fields.
Condition Recommendation
I want to overwrite old data every time I perform an upload. No optional fields are required.
I only have one LogBook. Turn off LogBook serial number field.
I use a new seed every time I upload. Only the seed option is needed.
I often accumulate multiple acquisitions on the PC-Card and
want to upload them at one time. Make sure at least the time field is enabled; otherwise,
acquisitions will be overwritten as they are uploaded.
I never perform partial uploads. Don’t need block number.
