MN – Set File Name
Purpose Sets the file name for the recorder.
Format MN xxx
Range xxx = file name up to 32 characters long
Default MN CHM
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
32 characters long, and may contain letters, numbers, or the
underscore (i.e. “_”) character. If no deployment name is
specified, a default of “CHM” is used. The deployment name
is used as part of the file name for data files when downloaded
to the computer using BBTalk (see “Recovering Data from the
Loop Recorder,” page 14).
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 9, page 14).
For example, the file CHM3281997475.000 would contain
data for the deployment named “CHM” (the 3281997475 in
the filename is the number of seconds since January 1
st
, 1900).
The file extension is always “.000”. If you wait 25 seconds
and download the same data again, the file name will change
to CHM3281997500.000.

Purpose Turns the recorder on or off.
Format MRn
Range n = 0, turn recorder off; n = 1, turn recorder on)
