Kathy,

If you view the files in the digitizers directory there is a description of the format
being used for that file at the top of the file.  There is also more information listed
in the programers manual (Ch. 21).  

Summarizing for those without the programmers manual:

The naming conventions for digitizers driver files is:
21.4 Digitzer File Naming Conventions

	manufacturer name or abbreviation + model number of digitizer + output
	format the digitizer is using + _ + number of keys on puck
