After selecting TEXT or CSV mode, the filename is automatically created as <jobxxxxx.txt> (or jobxxxxx.csv)
where 'xxxxx' is the job number stored in memory. If you are downloading a range of job summaries, then a
separate file is created for each summary.
If any file with the same name already exists on the data module, the instrument will prompt you to whether to
overwrite that file or not. If you want to keep an existing file then make sure you transfer it from the data card
onto the PC and rename it.
