Novatech Bitronics M87X Series Manual page 80

When the long filename feature is enabled, the Disturbance Recorder and Waveform
Recorder functions of the IED will create IEEE C37.232-2007 compatible names for all
generated Comtrade files. Note, that in all cases the IED compresses and stores
Comtrade files within a Zip file. Generation of Comtrade files for the Trend Recorder
function is handled by the BiView software application. BiView retrieves the Trend
Recorder data and the Identity configuration from the IED and then converts to a Comtrade
file. BiView will use the long filename configuration obtained from the IED.
IEEE C37.232-2007 defines the following disallowed characters: ? " / \< > * | : ; [ ] $ % { }
(i.e., question mark, quotation mark, forward slash, backward slash, less than, greater
than, asterisk, pipe, colon, semi-colon, brackets, dollar sign, percent, and braces). The 70
Series Configurator permits the use of these characters on the Identity Page, but they will
be replaced with an underscore (_) in the resulting long filename. Note, the use of periods
(.) and commas (,) while permitted by IEEE C37.232-2007 and properly handled by the 70
Series Configurator, may produce unexpected results when interpreted by a third party
software application
