HP ACC2 Aurora manual Image File Names

CHAPTER 6 IMAGE FILE NAMES:

The image ACC2 program stores images at directory:

x:\data\images

(Note: x: is d: for the Unis/UiO camera no 1.)

Then after a backup the operator can remove all subdirectories at x:\data\images . (Or he can remove the images directory. Afterwards he the has to create the images directory again.)

If the Windows95 "Recycle Bin" is used the files has to be emptied from the "Recycle Bin" afterwards. The DOS command DELTREE can be used, (e.g. in DOS deltree 971123 971124).

The x:\data\images directory must exist.

(x: is d: for the Unis/UiO camera no 1.)

The ACC2 program automatically creates a subdirectory at

x:\data\images for			each day. The format of this directory name
is 'yymmdd' . Then			on	this new directory it creates a new
subdirectory for each				hour. The format	of this directory name
is	'hh'	. An example		of this directory	structure is:
X:	data	-- images --		971123 -- 05

- 06

- 21

-- 971124 -- 05 - 06 - 07 - 08

The ACC2 program can also create long file names (yymmddhhmmss.fs). However, the PMIS program which is responsible for acquiring the data from the camera and storing the images with the (from ACC2) selected file names can only accept DOS compatible file names. Then we have to select the short file name option in the configuration file,(ACC_LONG_IMAGENAME) .

The (short) file names has the format :

'yymmddhh.%%&'

'yymmddhh' denotes the date and time.

'%%' is a hexadecimal counter for this filter code. 00 <= '%%' <= FF , i.e the counter can count 255 images/hour.
