Appendix 3 File Naming

File names are constructed as follows (must be exactly eight characters, not
including extension).

*1 When auto saving waveform data and calculation res
ults, automatically generated serial numbers
(up to eight digits) are appended to the specified file name. If no file name is specified, AUTO is
automatically entered.
(XXXX0001.MEM, XXX00001.MEM, XX
000001.MEM, X0000001.MEM)
When auto numbering exceeds 9999, the file name characters are overwritten (right to left) until
all eight digits are used for serial numbers. (Example: WAVE9999.MEM, WAV10000.MEM, .. )
*2 When [Deleting] is ena
bled with auto save, the oldest waveform file is deleted when the CF card
is full. When all waveform files within a date folder have been deleted, the folder name (date) is
automatically updated.
(Example:) Before updating: 08-07-17
After updating: 08_07_17_080719_101113 (old
date_new date _new day and time)
Hyphens (-) are changed to underbars (_) and the date when the folder name was last changed
is appended. (The example shows a new date and time of July 19th 2008, 10:11:13.)
*3 The TXT file extension is applied except when [S
eparator:Comma] is selected on the [System]
screen.
*4 Before loading data into a spreadsheet program such a
s Excel, note that the number of rows that
can be loaded at one time is limited (to 60,000 rows in Excel 97 – 2003, and to one million rows
in Excel 2007).
Larger CSV files can be split by the following methods:
•Use a CSV file-splitting program (downloa
dable for free from Hioki's website).
•Before saving, select the [S
plit Save] saving method in the HiLogger.
Note: The number of rows recorded per minute with 10 ms recording interval is:
100 (data points per second) x 60 (seconds) = 6,000 rows
