Log file names have the following structure:
P...PMMDDLXXX.tps; where
• P...P – the prefix.
• MM – the month value (1 through 12).
• DD – the day of the month (1 through 31).
• L – the lowercase letter (a through x) that will change
sequentially every hour.
• XXX – the numeric portion (000 through 999) that will be added
to the files starting with the second file within an hour and will
increase by one with each new file. This number resets to zero
every hour.
The file name depends on both the file creation time (month and day)
and additional suffixes to avoid confusion between files created on
the same day.
Always Append to the File parameter
To append new receiver data
to an existing log file, enter the desired file name in this parameter.
The setting can be up to 20 characters long.
Files Creation Mode parameter
This parameter has the following
operation modes:
• Log file – If the log file radio button has been selected, pressing
the FUNCTION button closes the current log file. If data logging
is off, pressing FUNCTION opens a new log file.
• AFRM – If AFRM radio button has been selected, pressing
FUNCTION enables this mode. If AFRM has been enabled,
pressing
FUNCTION
disables this mode.
Automatic File Rotation Mode (AFRM) parameters
TPS receivers
are capable of automatically rotating log files. During a “file rotation”
event, the receiver closes the current file and opens a new one
according to a user-defined schedule. The Period and Phase
parameters specify this schedule. File rotation launches the moment
the receiver time module Period is equal to Phase. More precisely, a
new log file opens immediately before the scheduled epoch causing
data tagged with this epoch to be recorded to the new log file.
