TFS3031 TekRanger/TekRanger 2 User Manual

Use Text format only when transferring waveform or event-table data
to a spreadsheet.
NOTE
. Waveform and event-table files that have been saved in Text
format cannot be loaded back onto the screen or used with FMTAP.
When you save files in Text format, make sure you have backup
copies to preserve the waveform data.
You can reload a fiber-notes-only file that has been saved using Text
format. This allows you to edit fiber notes on a PC or workstation,
then reload them into the TFS3031. Fiber notes are formatted in the
following format:
title;description
Title is a field up to 23 characters in length. Description is a field up
to 55 characters in length. The title and description fields are
separated by a semicolon. The fiber-notes file can contain up to 15 of
these notes.
If you edit file notes in a Text-format file, be sure to edit only the
lines of note text. Leave the rest of the file unchanged in order to
ensure that it will reload properly on the TFS3031.
Factory default is Tektronix common file format.
File Name Auto Increment
File Name Auto Increment specifies how file names are automatical-
ly incremented when files are saved.
Selections are None (disabled), Name, Extension, or Both (name and
extension). Factory default is Name.
Examples:
Name:
FILE0001.CFF increments to FILE0002.CFF
FILE_A.CFF increments to FILE_B.CFF
Extension: FILE.001 increments to FILE.002
FILE.AAA increments to FILE.AAB
Both:
FILE0018.999 increments to FILE0019.000
FILE00A.ABC increments to FILE00B.ABD
