6.2.5 Changing the log name prefix
Log files are given a default four character prefix “LOG_” follow by an automated sequential numbering
of three digits starting with 000. Hence, the first log files taken with this prefix have names LOG_000,
LOG_001, LOG_002 etc.
In order to better identify logs that have been recorded it is possible to adjust the standard prefix into
a custom one. The (default) name can be altered by four toggle buttons which can be set to the letters
A-Z, the numbers 0-9 and the _ (underscore sign).
When changing the log file prefix, the names of all existing samples names remain unchanged. It is not
possible to change the name of an existing log file on the meter, therefore, if a different sample prefix
is desired, it is necessary to set the desired sample name prefix before starting logging data.
The follow-up number is raised automatically for every unique name existing in the meter’s memory,
starting with 000. Once a number is deleted, or the memory has been emptied, counting will start over
with the lowest possible number.
To change the log name prefix:
Go to the Options menu,
and choose Data acquisition.
Now select Log.
Press Name log.
Change the characters by toggling the
displayed buttons to the desired prefix name.
Confirm and apply with the Set button, or exit
with the Back button to discard any changes.
When the maximum number of data points for one log file is 65000 is reached, a new file will be
automatically created with the same name but with a higher follow up number.
