26 files (‘a’ to ‘z’) per day. At midnight, the sequence starts at ‘a’
again.
• z is the file type: ‘l’ (lowercase L) is for alarm.
If you are using short file names, or if the path where the log files are
stored does not support long file names, the format for the name is
YYMMDDnz.dat, where YY are the last two digits of the year.
Example: Log file name
The log file named 20041015bl.dat was created in the year 2004,
month 10, and day 15. The ‘b’ indicates that this is the second file
created that day. The ‘l’ (lowercase L) indicates that this is an alarm log
file.
