:LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe

Command Syntax

:LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe "<path substitution string>\subfolder\filename.extension"

Where:

• <path substitution string> is a string that expands into a specific file path.
• "subfolder" is an optional path folder. For example, %USER_DATA_DIR%\Screen Images.
• "filename.extension" is a string with the filename extension.

Query Syntax

:LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe?

Description

Specifies the file name and type for saving a screen-capture reporting file for an eye mask limit test. The file name that you specify can include the path and should always include a filename extension to select the file type. The following filename extentions can be used:

.jpg

A 24-bit color Joint Photographic Experts Group graphics file format (.jpg extension) that can be highly compressed. This is the default format. The image compression can result in permanent loss of image quality. The application uses the .jpg software written by the Independent JPEG Group.

.png

The Portable Network Graphics format is a bitmap graphics file that has no compression loss and is used extensively in web pages and digital photography. This is a good choice for maximum quality and because it is a highly portable format.

.bmp

Bitmap (.bmp extension). A 24-bit color bitmap file format which is typically used for storing bit-mapped graphic files.

.gif

Graphics Interchange File format (.gif extension) is a standard graphics format (256 color) used to store bit mapped graphic files. For .gif files, this application uses LZW compression/decompression licensed under U.S. patent No 4,558,302 and foreign counterparts. The purchase or use of LZW graphics capability in a licensed product does not authorize or permit an end user to use any other product or perform any other method or activity involving use of LZW unless the end user is separately licensed in writing by Unisys. End user should not modify, copy, or distribute LZW compression/decompression capability

.tif

The 24-bit color Tag Image File format (.tif extension) is a format of choice for storing images with lossless compression. It provides better quality, but larger files. This format is widely supported across platforms (PC, Mac, UNIX). This application uses LZW compression/decompression licensed under U.S. patent No 4,558,302 and foreign counterparts. The purchase or use of LZW graphics capability in a licensed product does not authorize or permit an end user to use any other product or perform any other method or activity involving use of LZW unless the end user is separately licensed in writing by Unisys. End user should not modify, copy, or distribute LZW compression/decompression capability.

Default User Folder

The default folder for storing image files is in %USER_DATA_DIR%\Screen Images as shown in this picture. It is good practice to include a path substitution string with the filename. For example, %USER_DATA_DIR%\Screen Images\filename.

Autonumbers with Standard and Custom File Names

You can enter a custom file name or select to use the standard file name.

Standard File Names

Standard names automatically include file type, the current date, and an autonumber in this form:

<type_><YYYY-MM-DD><_autonumber>.<extension>

For example, Screen_2020-10-23_1.jpg. There is nothing to enter in order to use a standard name. Instead, select standard names by sending the :LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe:USTandard command. When sent, the :USTandard command also clears the :LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe command to an empty string.

Saving a file with the :LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:SAVE parent command does not increment the autonumber; you must use the :LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe:AUPDate command. Otherwise, the next file saved will have the same name as the last file saved.

If you want to start using a custom file names, simply enter a custom name with the :LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe command. The autonumbers for custom and standard names are independent. For example, switching to custom names then back to using standard names does not reset or change the current autonumber for Standard names.

Custom File Names

Custom names are entered using the :LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe command. Do not add a file name extension as FlexDCA automatically adds it. For example,

My_DUT

You can add an optional autonumber by appending an underscore character followed by an integer (_1) to the end of the file name. For example,

My_DUT_1

An autonumber, if used, must be appended to the end of the file name. The integer sets the starting number for the first file saved. To increment an autonumber after a file is saved, you must send the :LTESt:MTESt:SIMage:FNAMe:AUPDate command. There is no date variable to append, so if you want to include a date you will have to type it in.

Example File Names

Name	Type	Autonumber
Screen_2020-10-23_1.jpg	standard	yes
DUT.xxx	custom	no
DUT23.xxx	custom	no
DUT_23.xxx	custom	yes
