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 15 on
page 118, the maximum allowable length for each custom point is 13 (20 − 7 = 13).
To create a sequential data file with custom points
1. In the measurement screen, press [FILE], and then select CREATE.
2. In the FILE CREATE screen (see Figure 7-2 on page 114):
a) In the FILE NAME parameter, using up to 32 characters, enter the desired file
name.
b) In the DESCRIPTION parameter, optionally enter a description of the
contents of the file.
c) In the INSPECTOR ID, optionally enter an identification of the inspector.
d) In the LOCATION NOTE parameter, optionally enter an identification of
where the measurements are performed.
3. In the FILE TYPE field, select SEQUENTIAL + CUSTOM.
4. Set the DELETE PROTECTION mode ON or OFF.
5. At the bottom of the FILE CREATE screen, select CONTINUE.
6. In the second page of the CREATE screen (see Figure 7-5 on page 120):
a) Enter the START ID and END ID values.
b) Enter two or more CUSTOM POINTS values.
7. Once all CUSTOM POINTS are entered, select DONE (without entering a custom
point) to exit the entry list.
8. Select CREATE to return to the measurement screen.
