Log file names have the following structure:
<prefix><month><day><sequential alphabet letter>
The file name depends on both the file creation time (month
and day) and additional letter suffixes to avoid confusion
between files created on the same day.
Always Append to the File parameter
If you want the new receiver data to be appended to an
existing log file, enter the desired filename in this parameter.
The setting can be up to 20 characters long.
Files Creation Mode parameter
This parameter has two possible operation modes:
• Log file – If the log file radio button has been selected,
pressing the FN key will result in closing the current log
file. If data logging is off, pressing FN will open a new
log file.
• AFRM – If AFRM radio button has been selected,
pressing FN will enable this mode. If AFRM has been
enabled, pressing FN will disable this mode.
Automatic File Rotation Mode (AFRM) parameters
TPS receivers are capable of automatically rotating log files.
During a “file rotation” event, the receiver closes the current
file and opens a new one according to a user-defined
schedule. The Period and Phase parameters specify this
schedule. File rotation launches the moment the receiver time
module Period is equal to Phase. More precisely, a new log
file opens immediately before the scheduled epoch, causing
data tagged with this epoch to be recorded to the new log file.
When opening a new log file, the receiver enables the default
set of messages outputted with the default output period.
Both the default set of messages and the default output period
are programmable.
