When scheduling a single data collection event, you can
provide a name for the data file in advance. If you are
scheduling a series of events, you must allow Radian IS to
generate names automatically.
An acceptable file name consists of up to eight characters,
followed by a *.pdc extension. Auto-generated filenames
consist of an eight-character base followed by a *.pdc extension.
The eight characters are derived as shown in Table 2.
Table 2: Auto-Generated File Name Convention
For example, a Radian IS might have a serial number such as:
CGN95450087
If the day is January 25, for example, and this is the 15
th
schedule created that day, then, being that the UTC day-of-year
representation for January 25 is 025, and the 15
th
schedule of the
day would have an entry index of E, this file would have a
name such as:
0087025E.PDC
Should a conflict occur between an auto-generated file name or
a file name specified in a scheduled entry, the Radian IS will
resolve the conflict by creating a file name whose first character
is a tilde (“~”), followed by a 7-digit random number, and a
*.PDC extension. For example
~9368412.PDC
