File storage record

The file storage record indicates the application file creation date and time, and provides identification information required to store the file in memory. When included in the application file, this record must be the first record in the file.

The following table shows the additional records provided when the file storage record is included with Command Packet 64h.

Byte	Item	Type	Value	Notes
0	RECORD TYPE	1 (Char)	00h	File Storage record
1	RECORD LENGTH	1 (Char)	0Dh	Number of bytes in record, excluding bytes 0 and 1
2–9	APPLICATION FILE NAME	8 (Chars)	ASCII text A...Z, a...z, _ (underscore)	Eight-character name for the application file
10	YEAR OF CREATION	1 (Char)	00h–FFh	Year when application file is created, ranging from 00 to 255 (1900 = 00).
11	MONTH OF CREATION	1 (Char)	01h–0Ch	Month when application file is created (01 to 12).
12	DAY OF CREATION	1 (Char)	00h–1Fh	Day of the month when application file is created (00 to 31).
13	HOUR OF CREATION	1 (Char)	00h–17h	Hour of the day when application file is created (00 to 23).
14	MINUTES OF CREATION	1 (Char)	00h–3Bh	Minutes of the hour when application file is created (00 to 59).

If multiple applications files or Command Packet 64h messages are sent with the same APPLICATION FILE NAME, these will overwrite any existing files with the same name (regardless of upper and/or lower case characters). The APPLICATION FILE NAME may contain upper and/or lower case characters, however Trimble recommends using only upper case characters.
