Feature request: revised file naming format from Telescope Pointing Script. #7

Description

@MacDaddy1660B

AJT requests a different naming format for the pointing data file from the Telescope pointing data. It was mistakenly posted in a separate issue #6 :

#6 (comment)

It says:

rom AJT:

I think this is the correct file: https://github.com/ApachePointObservatory/TUI3/blob/e76f9b42326ab5a3b7b8cc9e9070d44f36077a48/TUI/Scripts/Telescope/Pointing%20Data.py

But I don't see a ... and dropdown menu to copy specific lines of code.

This is line 733 and 744:

currDateStr = isoDateTimeFromPySec(pySec=None, nDig=1)

ptDataName = "ptdata_%s.dat" % (currDateStr,)

ptdata_%s.dat is the current filename, which currently outputs looking like this: ptdata_2023-08-23T00:01:03.7.dat

Preferably, it would look like ptdata_20230823_000102.dat, or more like the ecam mask images--the MaskImages.py script does this using the time package and:

date=time.strftime('%y%m%d_%H%M%S')

name=dir+'ecam/ecam_flat_'+date+'.'+str(x)+'.fits'

so maybe we could just import time and do it that way, instead of changing anything in the RO package?

I can probably make these edits, but what's the correct way to do that?
