MN – Set File Name
Purpose
Sets the file name for the recorder.
Format
MN xxxxxx
Range
xxxxxx = file name up to 6 characters long
Default
MN RP
Recommended Setting
. Use as needed.
Description
The MN command sets the deployment name to be used for any future deployments. The
deployment name can be up to 6 characters long, and may contain letters, numbers, or
the underscore (i.e. “_”) character. If no deployment name is specified, a default of “RP”
is used. The deployment name is used as part of the file name for data files when down-
loaded to the computer using BBTalk (see
Recovering Data from the Loop Recorder
).
In order to prevent data files on the computer from being overwritten, a ten-digit time
stamp is appended to the file name when OK is clicked on the Download Directory
dialog box (see Figure 4).
For example, the file RP3281997475.p0 would contain data for the deployment named
“RP” (the 3281997475 in the filename is the number of seconds since January 1
st
, 1900).
The file extension is always “.p0”. Waiting 25 seconds and downloading the same data
again will change the file name to RP3281997500.p0.
