The serial number (from 000 to 999)
that is appended when the size of a
single file exceeds 2 GB.
File Name Example for When Auto Naming Is Set to Date
• The underscore and three-digit serial number are not appended to the file name when the file size is 2 GB or
less. However, when a file is saved through the hard disk recording feature, an underscore and the three-digit
serial number 000 are appended to the file name even if the file size does not exceed 2 GB.
• Auto Naming (Auto Naming)
• Numbering (Numbering)
The DL850E/DL850EV automatically adds a four-digit number from 0000 to 9999 after the common name
specified using the File Name setting (up to four characters) and saves files.
• Date (Date)
The file name is the date and time (down to ms) when the file is saved. The file name specified using the
File Name setting is not used.
• OFF
Disables the auto naming feature. The name that you specify using the File Name setting is used. If there
is a file with the same name in the save destination folder, you cannot save the data.
• Save Destination during Hard Disk Recording and Action Execution
In the specified drive, a folder is automatically created with the date (year, month, and day) as its name,
and data is saved to that folder using file names specified by the auto naming feature. If the number of files
in the save destination folder exceeds 1000, a new folder is automatically created with the date and an
incremented sequence number (000 to 999) as its name, and the data continues to be saved in the new
folder.
You can configure the DL850E/DL850EV so that data is saved to the specified folder when an action is
executed, not to the folder that is automatically created with the date.
• File Name (File Name)
You can set the common file name that is used when the auto naming feature is turned off or when the auto
naming feature is set to Numbering. The maximum number of characters that you can use for file names and
folder names is 64 characters. The following restrictions apply.
• The following types of characters can be used: 0 to 9, A to Z, a to z, _, −, =, (, ), {, }, [, ], #, $, %, &, ~, !, `,and
@. @ cannot be entered consecutively.
