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.
