Defining the Automatic Fiber Name Format

Each time you make a new acquisition, the fiber name changes

automatically according to a pattern you will have previously defined. This

name is made of a static part (prefix) and a variable part that will be

incremented.

The increment can be positive, negative or null (zero). Entering zero gives

you the opportunity to use the same acquisition fiber name.

Note: The number you can enter will depend on the number of digits you have

specified. For example, if you set two digits, the maximum you can enter

is 99. Once the system reaches 99, it will step back to 00. If the selected

increment is negative, when the system reaches 00, it will step back to 99.

If you do not enter any prefix or number, the fiber will be identified with

one number only.

Note: You can modify the fiber name later, when the acquisitions are complete.

For more information, see Documenting Results on page 59.

Note: You cannot define the automatic fiber name format in offline mode.
