Default PDF Filename |
Contents Previous Next |
Options Menu > File Saving Options > Default PDF Filename Default PDF Filename The default PDF filename determines the form of the initial filename TRW chooses when How do I use the formatted file and folder names?the data from a logger is saved to a TRX file. It is important to note that what is specified here is a template for the filename, and the actual filename will not usually be the same as what you enter here (though it can be). When TRW chooses the filename, it uses the default filename template, but treats several characters as having special meaning. For example, the character L means "the logger serial number", and the characters yyyy mean "the current year".
If you want to have characters in the filename but don’t want them to be interpreted by the above rules, they must be enclosed in double-quotes ("..."), thus to use a filename of My Report.pdf, you must enclose the filename in quotes, thus: “My Report.pdf".
The panel below the Default PDF Filename field shows you what filename would be used for the given file name format specifier.
The installation default specifier for the default PDF filename is L YYYY-MM-DD hh-nn-ss. This means that the default filename for a report printed from the data for logger S1234567 read at 12:34:56 on the 1st of June, 2009 would be S1234567 2009-06-01 12-34-56.pdf. Note that the .pdf extension is added automatically. If you want a different extension, you should enter it as part of the format specifier. For example a specifier of L YYYY-MM-DD hh-nn-ss".rep" would result in a filename with the extension .rep. Note that the extension characters are surrounded by double quote characters ("...") to prevent them being interpreted as formatting instructions. See the topic When are default filename and folders used? for more information.
