2.3 Specifying a filename and folder
By default, the SDR2-CF records data to a file called SDR-CF-0000.DAT
located in the
DATA subfolder in the CF card's root directory. You can keep
this filename or specify a new filename that reflects the data it contains. For
example, you may wish to use
PRESSURE.TXT for pressure data or even a
name like
TEMP0907.TXT for temperature data from September 2007.
Likewise, your choice of folder names may reflect something about the data
it contains.
Notes about filenames
When you enter a filename, it must conform to the FAT 8+3 filename
format. This means that files contain up to 8 characters, a period ("dot"), and
up to three more characters. For example, BRIDGE.DAT, ABCDEFGH.123,
and
1 are all valid filenames, while DATA.FILE, and JOHNSMITH.TXT are
not. The SDR2-CF ignores characters you type that are not allowed in
FAT16 filenames, such as: \/*|[].
To specify the name of the file the SDR2-CF will use for recording data,
type 7 at the main menu prompt to enter the File System Functions
You can also change
the filename and
folder by typing 6 at
the main menu, then 1
in the Recording
Parameters submenu.
