ASE2000 V2 Communication Test Set User Manual 26
5. File Types
The ASE2000 Communication Test Set V2 interacts with several dierent le types referenced
in their respective topics:
MONX les contain Exchange Mode conguration information including the protocol, window
layout, and user and data entry values. The default le extension for an ASE2000 Version 2
conguration le is MONX. MONX les are not compatible with ASE2000 Version 1 conguration
les, whose extension is MON. MONX les are applicable to Exchange Mode operation only
and can neither be saved nor opened while running in Task Mode.
MON les contain Exchange Mode conguration information similar to .MONX les, but were
generated with ASE2000 V1. Once opened in ASE2000 V2, it is recommended to save the
conguration in a .MONX le. Changes made to the conguration cannot be saved to a .MON
le format.
MSGX les contain Communication Message data as shown in the Line Monitor and Messages
view. A saved MSGX le can be sent to another ASE2000 user for viewing.
CSV les are ‘Comma-Separated Value’ columnar data stored in a readable text format. CSV
les are supported by Microsoft Excel for convenient handling. Although the comma “,” character
is most frequently used as the column delimiter, other displayable punctuation characters (non-
alphanumeric) are supported. During a Point List import operation, the delimiting character will
be determined by examining the le contents.
PCAP/PCAPNG les are capture les produced by the Wireshark network utility. Beginning with
Build 2.17, these les may be directly imported into the ASE2000 V2 Test Set.
TXT les are text les containing communication message data. Beginning with Build 2.18,
communication data represent as text may be imported into the ASE2000 V2 Test Set if compliant
with representation guidelines.
