Default directory for saved files is “data” subdirectory placed in the directory

time digits separated by dash symbols where the first 4 digits are the year,
the next 2 digits are the month, then 2 digits of day, next digits are hours,

same name with .bin and .prm extensions are saved in the specified folder.
In .bin files the measured data is saved, and in .prm files the INS
microprocessor parameters, at which this data was obtained, are saved. For
example, A1240013-2012-11-20-12-14-26.bin corresponds to data saved
