Rename

The Rename command allows you to rename all of the files that are associated with a measurement routine.

You can only rename measurement routine (.prg), probe (.prb), and report (.rpt) files made in valid versions of PC-DMIS. For this version of PC-DMIS, if you attempt to rename any of these file types created before PC-DMIS version 2015.1, PC-DMIS shows an error message.

Example error message when you try to rename an invalid measurement routine file:

PC-DMIS Message

<measurement routine file>: Could not Rename File.

Unable to rename this Measurement Routine because it was created with a PC-DMIS version before 2015.1.

Where <measurement routine file> is the name and location of the file you are trying to open.
