The
File Naming
panel allows the various elements to be activated, or suppressed at will.
The elements are:
•
A
constant
prefix
, comprising
characters of the user’s choice
•
A
suffix
, which normally be .txt to
indicate a text file, or .csv to indicate
a comma separated variable file.
Windows associates suffices with
applications; thus, if Excel is
installed on the PC when a .csv file
is double clicked in Windows
Explorer Excel is automatically
started and a spreadsheet is created
and populated with data from the
.csv file. This provides a convenient
way of viewing the data, or carrying
out further processing. Double
clicking a .txt file would normally
open the file in Notepad, which does
not present the data in such a
convenient way.
•
A
sequence number
of a specified
length which starts with a defined
value when XTR-96 is started, or will
continue from the last number used
irrespective of restarts. The
sequence number is incremented
each time a rack is read.
•
A user defined
Scanner ID
.
•
A user defined
Scanner location
•
A
rack identifier
, which could be a barcoded serial number on the rack read.
•
The
date
and / or
time
the rack was read.
The “Example Filename” field shows what the filename will look like with the options
currently defined.
It is possible to select only unvarying elements to make up the name, in which case the
second time a rack is read a duplicate file name will be generated and a warning will be
issued.
