The auto-save folder location can be found using the File→Resource Management menu option in the Paragon-X application:
Clicking in the file location box allows the location to be copied (using <ctrl-a> then <ctrl-c>) for pasting into Windows Explorer. Tip |

You may also change the default retention time used for capture files, Since capture files can be large, you may want to reduce the time for which they are retained. |
Auto-save file typesThe capture files are in a folder called AutoSave in the directory above. The naming convention is: <IPaddress of instrument><Start Time of capture>_<Test type>.cpd For example, the file 192-168-3-100_20160212_11-39-44_PTP.cpd is the data for a PTP capture which was run on a Paragon-X with IP address 192.168.3.100 starting at 11:39:44 on 12th February 2016. Each type of Paragon-X measurement capture file has a filename which indicates the type of test data it contains: File name | Content |
---|
_PTP.cpd | PTP main capture file | _SE.cpd | SyncE measurement capture | _1ppsAcc.cpd | 1PPS Time Error (Absolute) measurement capture | _1ppsWan.cpd | 1PPS Time Error (Relative) measurement capture | _2MWan.cpd | 2M wander measurement capture | _T1Wan.cpd | T1 wander measurement capture | _E1Wan.cpd | E1 wander measurement capture | _ATOD.cpd | Time of Day capture | _AP.cpd | All-packet capture file | _NTP.cpd | NTP capture file | _CH.cpd | CES capture file | _PA.cpd | Services mode capture file | _OM.cpd | OAM mode - multimeg flow capture file | _OS.cpd | OAM mode - singlemeg flow capture file |

title | Loading multiple captures into the Paragon-X Application |
---|
| If you want to load all the capture files (measurement types) created during a particular session into Paragon-X: - In Windows Explorer, identify all the relevant files and select them
- Right click and choose 'Send to Compressed (zipped) folder'.
- Rename the resulting .zip file to .clxz
- Use File→Import to import this bundle into the GUI for further analysis.
|
Your AutoSave folder may also contain a number of .cpz files. These are generated by the Paragon-X GUI when loading .cpd files, and can be ignored or deleted. |
