4.0 Operation
4.1 Download file
name
Files downloaded from a recorder to the HHMPI follow a standard naming convention,
configured by the Filename Style command on the Settings menu. The naming conven-
tion is: _[aircraft tail number]_[date[_time]]_download type.ext
For example:
 _20101010_1204_FDR_5_MINUTES.fdr
 _VHFDS_101_20101010_1204_FDR_ALL.dlu
 _VHFDS_101_20101010_1204_CVR_ALL.cvr
4.2 Aircraft lists Stored in the HHMPI as a comma separated variable file, the Aircraft List contains a list of
all aircraft in the fleet. Using an Aircraft List makes it easier to assign tail numbers to
operational downloads, it also makes the file names more readable.
4.2.1 Loading aircraft details
The Aircraft List may be created and stored in a HHMPI to populate the aircraft tail varia-
ble in the data file name. When an Aircraft List is not present, data file names will default
to _[aircraft tail number]_[date[_time]]_download type.ext. See Section 4.1, ”Download file
name” on page 19.

Note The file extension can vary according to the recorder type and
download mode.
The date and time string use the time format already configured in
the HHMPI.
Special characters within the aircraft tail numbers are automatically
converted to underscores “_”.
Dates and time stamps are stripped to remove slashes and colons.
