Filename Enables you to select the method used to select the name for the file you are
saving. You can toggle between the Auto, User, and Ask naming methods.
• When Auto is selected and you press
based on the table below.
— For Trace and State – the ### in the auto-generated file name represents a
three-digit number which the analyzer has chosen to be the lowest number in the
current sequence that does not conflict with an existing file name. The number starts
at 000 with a new analyzer or after the installation of new firmware and counts up
with each attempted Save. After a Restore Sys Defaults, the number will start at a
number that may be lower then the lowest number of the existing files in the
currently saved files. The number counts up with each attempted Save, but will skip
the numbers already in use and not over write existing files.
— For Screen – the ########_###### in the auto-generated file name represents the
date (yyyymmdd) and time in seconds that the fill was saved.
