8.8.4.2  Files Manager 
 
FilesManager := { "(" pakbus-address "," name-prefix "," number-files ")" }. 
pakbus-address := number. ; 0 < number < 4095 
name-prefix := string. 
number_files := number. ; 0 <= number < 10000000 
 
This setting specifies the numbers of files of a designated type that are saved 
when received from a specified node. There can be up to four such settings. The 
files are renamed by using the specified file name optionally altered by a serial 
number inserted before the file type. This serial number is used by the datalogger 
to know which file to delete after the serial number exceeds the specified number 
of files to retain. If the number of files is 0, the serial number is not inserted. A 
special node PakBus address of 3210 can be used if the files are sent with FTP 
protocol, or 3211 if the files are written with CRBasic.   
Note This setting will operate only on a file whose name is not a null 
string. 
Example: 
(129,CPU:NorthWest.JPG,2) 
(130,CRD:SouthEast.JPG,20) 
(130,CPU:Message.TXT,0) 
In the example above, *.JPG files from node 129 are named 
CPU:NorthWestnnn.JPG and two files are retained .    The nnn serial number 
starts at 1 and will advance beyond nine digits. In this example, all *.TXT files 
from node 130 are stored with the name CPU:Message.Txt, with no serial number 
inserted.
