Test Set File Naming Conventions
Test Set File Entry Field Width
The Test Set's TESTS Subsystem uses the following file naming conventions:
• The c prefix is used to indicate a code file and is automatically prefixed onto the file
name when the program code file is stored for use by the TESTS susbsystem.
• The p prefix is used to indicate a procedure file and is prefixed onto the file name when
the file is stored by the TESTS Subsystem
• The l prefix is used to indicate a library file and is prefixed onto the file name when the
file is created by the Program Development System for use with the TESTS Subsystem
The Test Set's Save/Recall register subsystem uses the following file naming
convention:
The _ prefix is used to indicate a stored Save/Recall register file and is prefixed
onto the file name when the file is created .
The Test Set's Signaling Decoder in NMT mode uses the following file naming
convention:
The n prefix is used to indicate a stored NMT file and is prefixed onto the file name when
the file is created .
The TESTS Subsystem and the Save/Recall register subsystem have fields into
which the operator enters a file name. These fields are used by the operator to
enter the name of a file to be stored or loaded. The files accessed by these fields
have a one-character prefix of c, p, l, or _. The width of these fields is 9
characters. The prefix character + 9 characters = 10 characters, which conforms to
the LIF file system's naming convention. Consequently these fields will hold a
file name which is longer than the 8 characters allowed by the DOS file system.
