Using File Name Template Codes
In the File Name Generation window (page 4-4), each sample information field is preceded by a code
that the Multisizer 4 software uses when creating a template for the file name. For example, the
template:
<F10>_<S10>_<R1>_<U2>.<X>
will create the following file name:
FileID_Sample_RunNumber_UniqueNumber.Extension
In this example, the File ID and Sample ID (<F10> and <S10>, respectively) will be included up to a
maximum of 10 characters. The Run number will have a maximum of one digit, and the Unique
Number will have a maximum of two digits.
