Appendix 1. Automatic File Naming Convention
When automatically generating file names for data storage (using data acquisition software with
the -f or -g command line options), the ADV uses a convention where the file name is based on
the date and time at which the file was created. Unless the clock has been reset such that two files
are started within the same minute, it is not possible to have a repeated file name. An example of
this convention is shown below.
AA5ADM23.ADV
where
AA
= starting two characters as specified in the file
ADVFILE.DEF
(See ¶2.2).
5
= last digit of year (i.e., 1995)
A
= month (i.e., A = 10 = October)
D
= day (i.e., D = 13)
M
= hour (i.e., M = 22)
23
= minute
.ADV
= all ADV data files use the same extension
The above file name is for a file started at 22:23 on October 13, 1995. Tables showing the abbre-
viations for month, day, and hour are shown below.
Month
1 = January 4 = April 7 = July A = October
2 = February 5 = May 8 = August B = November
3 = March 6 = June 9 = September C = December
Day
1 = 1 5 = 5 9 = 9 D = 13 H = 17 L = 21 P = 25 T = 29
2 = 2 6 = 6 A = 10 E = 14 I = 18 M = 22 Q = 26 U = 30
3 = 3 7 = 7 B = 11 F = 15 J = 19 N = 23 R = 27 V = 31
4 = 4 8 = 8 C = 12 G = 16 K = 20 O = 24 S = 28
Hour
0 = 0 3 = 3 6 = 6 9 = 9 C = 12 F = 15 I = 18 L = 21
