Each time you save a trace, the unit suggests a file name based on
autonaming settings. After saving a result, the unit prepares the next file
name by incrementing the suffix.
File names: maximum of 20 characters for prefix and 3 digits for suffix.
By default, traces are saved in native (.trc) format, but you can configure
your unit to save them in Bellcore (.sor) format.
Note:
If you select the Bellcore (.sor) format, the unit will create one trace file per
wavelength (for example, TRACE001_1310.sor and TRACE001_1550.sor, if
you selected both 1310 nm and 1550 nm for your test). The native format
contains all wavelengths in a single trace file.
