File Format
Type of Files
The LX makes a binary-format data file and ASCII-format header file each time recording stops or pauses.
Data file: Contains A/D data in binary format. The file extension is dat.
Header file: Contains recording conditions, etc., in text format. The file extension is hdr.
■ The files are stored in DOS format on the media.
■ When a voice memo is recorded, a voice memo file (extension:”wav”) is made in addition to the above.
You can play this voice memo file in the Windows Media Player.
File name
The file name is common to the data file and header file. An ID number is added to the end of the specified
file name. When you specify a new file name, the ID number starts from 1. After recording is stopped or
paused, the ID number is automatically incremented each time the recording restarts. If a data file with the
same name or same ID number already exists when recording to the media or PC, the next ID number is
used.
●When Recording to Memory or to the media
To specify a file name, choose File and New, and then specify the file name in Dataset. For the file name, use
up to 5 alphanumeric characters. (Prohibited characters ．，；：<>[]*?="/¥|) The system attaches a 3-digit
ID number (starting from 001) to these 5 characters to make a total of 8 characters. If the designated
character is 4 or less, the portion between the characters and the 3 digits will be filled with “0”, and the
number of characters in the file name will become 8 in total.
●When Recording to a PC
When recording to a PC, or when recording to a PC while recording to memory or the media, there is no
restriction on the length of the file name. （Prohibited characters ．，；：<>[]*?="/¥|) An ID number of up
to 8 characters can be added to that file name.
