File Name
Whenever information is downloaded from LogTag® products it is always automatically saved on your PC.
The file name entry helps you to give meaningful names to the files, so you can identify them easier if you have to open them at a later date, or share them with others.
You can mix normal text and pre-defined place holder elements in this definition field. When a new file is created, the normal text appears as entered, and the place holder elements are replaced with the corresponding information from the logger data or your computer environment.
Use the button at the end of the edit control (
) to display a list with available elements. Selecting an element will insert place holder text representing this element at the cursor location; alternatively you can enter this text directly.
You may use one or more of the available elements in any order. If you type additional text into the definition field, you must not add it inside an element's place holder text. If you manually enter placeholder text, the letters must be in upper case as shown in the following table (for example, "%ID" not "%id") and include the % marker.

You may use the \ character to specify that a file name definition includes a sub folder name. This is useful if you want to group/sort files automatically together and it cannot be done using the folder name controls (for example if you want sort the files by User Id).
Characters not supported by the operating system such as : * ? < > | are not permitted. If you do include one of these elements they will be replaced with the _ character.
Any date or time element will use the formatting settings defined in the Date and Time options.
