When overwrite lock is on, the digitizing oscilloscope will not permit you to
write over an existing file of the same name. An important reason to allow
overwriting is to let you write files using a target file name that contains wild
card characters (“?”). This means the digitizing oscilloscope creates sequential
files whose names are similar except for the sequential numbers that go in the
real name in the place of the question marks.
