data (wfm) file, for later analysis or inclusion in reports.

5. Tap Auto Increment File Name to enable or disable automatic incrementing of a file name. Auto Increment File Name lets
you save sequential files without needing to manually rename them each time. The count number is added to the end of the
file name.

If Auto Increment File Name is enabled the Count defaults to 000 if there are no files at the specified location and file
name that already use incremented file names. If there are files at the save location that already use the specified file
name, and have already been saved using count increments, the Count field shows the next count value that will be
added to the file name when the file is saved.

To change the starting count value, tap the Count field and use the assigned knob to change the value, or double-tap
the field and use the virtual keypad to change the value.
