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 new receiver data to be appended to an existing log
file, enter the desired file name 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 closes the current log file. If data logging
is off, pressing FN opens a new log file.
• AFRM – If AFRM radio button has been selected, pressing
FN enables this mode. If AFRM has been enabled, pressing
FN disables 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.
• Period – specifies the time duration of each log file created in
AFRM mode.
Values are 60 to 86400 seconds; default value is 3600 seconds.
• Phase – specifies the “phase” (constant time shift) of creating
multiple log files in AFRM mode.
Values are 0 to 86400 seconds; default value is zero seconds.
