directory. <filename> stands for a filename of up to 8 characters followed by a
period (“.”) and any 3-character extension.
You can automatically create different names for files. You do this by using the
question mark (?) as a special wildcard character. These stand for numbers the
TDS will insert sequentially in the filename. For example, if you placed two
question marks at the end of the filename then the oscilloscope would append 00
to the first file created, 01 to the next, and 02 to the next. This helps you
automatically create different names for files. It is particularly useful in
automated testing situations.
HARDCOPY:FILENAME TEK.IBM"
selects TEK.IBM as the selected file name.
HARDCOPY:FILENAME?
might return TEK.IBM as the selected file name.
HARDCOPY:FILENAME TEK??.IBM"
selects TEK as the selected file name with a numeric, two-digit suffix. The TDS
might return TEK00.IBM as the first file, TEK01.IBM as the second.
