DMTA-10022-01EN, Rev. C, January 2015Chapter 6946.7.2.2 Incremental Data File TypeThe incremental data file type uses the alphanumeric start ID value (up to20 characters), and automatically increments to the subsequent ID value using thefollowing incrementation rules:• Increments only digits and letters, not punctuation marks or other specialcharacters.• Begins incrementation with the right-most character.• Extends leftward until reaching the first punctuation mark or special character, orthe left-most character, whichever comes first.• Increments digits from 0, 1, 2,..., 9. Makes the 9 to 0 transition only afterincrementing the character to the left.• Increments letters from A, B, C,..., Z. Makes the Z to A transition only afterincrementing the character to the left.• When an ID cannot be incremented after a reading is saved, the Cannotincrement ID! message momentarily appears in the help text bar. Subsequentsaves overwrite the reading of the last possible ID until the ID value range ischanged.To configure the gage to increment through a range of numbers several digits widewhile beginning with a single-digit ID number, the maximum number of digitpositions must be entered initially using leading zeroes (see examples in Table 7 onpage 94).Table 7 Resulting ID examples for the INCREMENTAL file typeSTART ID Resulting IDs1 1, 2, 3,..., 90001 000100020003...00090010...9999
