Measurement Name Template

The Measurement Name Template setting allows users to define the default names of recorded measurements. Measurements can, as always, be given a specific name by the user in the Recorder view, but this feature controls the suggested name that is pre-filled in the measurement name textbox.

• The Measurement Name Template setting can be left blank to keep the legacy measurement name suggestions of M0001, M0002, etc.

• A simple Measurement Name Template such as Material_Sample_ will pre-fill the Recorder view’s measurement name textbox with the exact text Material_Sample_, and then the user may need to manually add some kind of sample ID or serial number in order to ensure the name of an actual measurement is unique.

• A Measurement Name Template that contains the placeholder <BARCODE>, such as Material_Sample_<BARCODE> will pre-fill the measurement name textbox with Material_Sample_<BARCODE> . When the measurement recorder starts, Breeze will prompt the user to scan a barcode using an attached barcode scanner device. The value of the scanned barcode replaces the placeholder <BARCODE>, and then recording begins, using Material_Sample_123456789 as the measurement name.
