For example, if you are saving a series of rise time data files, you can use
“Risetime” as the base file name. Your first file is saved as Risetime000.ext. The
next file will be Risetime001.ext, and so on.
If Count reaches 999, it is suggested that you change the base file name to
Basefilename1 (for example, Risetime1) on the next save. Your next file will
then be saved as Risetime1000.ext. You will receive a warning message if you
are going to overwrite any files with the same name.
