169
The allowable number of characters for each custom point depends on the ID number
of characters defined in the start and end ID values. The total number of characters of
the ID value plus the custom points cannot exceed 20 characters. For example, when
the start and end ID values are seven characters long, as in the example in Table 14 on
page 169, the maximum allowable length for each custom point is thirteen (20 – 7 =
13).
To create a sequential data file with custom points
1. From the measurement screen, press [FILE], and then select CREATE in the menu
(see “Creating a Data File” on page 163 for details on the first parameters).
2. At the bottom of the CREATE screen, select CONTINUE.
3. In the second page of the CREATE screen (see Figure 11-6 on page 170):
a) Enter the START ID and END ID values.
b) Enter two or more CUSTOM POINTS values.
c) Press [2nd F], [] to finish entering CUSTOM POINTS values.
d) Select CREATE.
