Incremental Data File Type

The incremental data file type uses the alphanumeric start ID value (up to
20 characters), and automatically increments to the subsequent ID value using the
following incrementation rules:
• Increments only digits and letters, not punctuation marks or other special
characters.
• Begins incrementation with the right-most character.
• Extends leftward until reaching the first punctuation mark or special character, or
the left-most character, whichever comes first.
• Increments digits from 0, 1, 2,..., 9. Makes the 9 to 0 transition only after
incrementing the character to the left.
• Increments letters from A, B, C,..., Z. Makes the Z to A transition only after
incrementing the character to the left.
• When an ID cannot be incremented after a reading is saved, the Cannot
increment ID! message momentarily appears in the help text bar. Subsequent
saves overwrite the reading of the last possible ID until the ID value range is
changed.
NOTE
To configure the gage to increment through a range of numbers several digits wide
while beginning with a single-digit ID number, the maximum number of digit
positions must be entered initially using leading zeroes (see examples in Table 7 on
page 94).
