File-naming Conventions As in MS-DOS, the file name can take up to eight characters
followed by an extension of three characters.
A file is treated as:
Ø Panel setup if its extension is PNL
Ø Waveform if its extension is a three-digit number
Ø Waveform template if its extension is TPL
Ø Hardcopy if its extension is TIF, BMP, or PRT.
The instrument has a pre-defined naming convention for the
eight-character file names and directory names, and these default
names can be customized, as shown in this table.
If the new file being stored bears the same name as an existing file
on the same storage medium, the old file will be deleted.
