The camera ignores image files located in the root directory. The camera also
ignores directories located in an inspection/working directory.
5.4.3 Naming files and directories
When storing an image a name is automatically generated based on either the cur-
rent date or the current directory according to the selection made in the Set-
up
→Save options menu.
Example 1 – Image names based on current date:
When storing an image or creating a new directory the name, based on current
date, is generated according to the following standard:
Image name: YMMDDnnn.EXT
Y = Last digit in the current year, converted to an equivalent letter
(A = 0 to J = 9), e.g. 1996
→ G.
MM = Current month (01–12)
DD = Current day (01–31)
nnn = File/directory index.
If index [01–99]
→ -nn, #nn if directory name.
If index [100–999]
→ -nnn.
The current date is 10/01/96 (January 10th, 1996). Two images have already
been stored on this date. The next image to be stored is allocated the prefix
G0110-03.
G = digit 6 in 1996 converted to a letter.
0110 = January 10th
03 = File index (i.e. this is the third image generated on January 10th,1996).
No extension is used for directory names. The extension *.IMG is used for image
names. The extension is not displayed in the camera.
Example 2 – Image names based on current directory:
Image names can also be based on the current directory that is being used. In that
case they are created according to the following standard:
Image name: DIRECnnn.IMG
DIREC = First 5 characters of the directory name
nnn = File/directory index.
If index [01–99]
→ -nn
If index [100–999]
→ -nnn.
The directory name is COMPANY. Two images have already been stored on this
date. The next image to be stored is allocated the prefix COMPA-03.
