Can't name scans in an E57 point cloud file?

When using the E57 writer, I've been unable to assign specific names to the scans in the point cloud file. In my case I only have three names, and those are in attributes waiting for a place to use them.

It seems the writer uses the file's basename for the first scan, and then appends _001, _002, etc. to any others.

I'm hoping there's more flexibility and that some smart person will tell me where to find it.

TIA

Do you mean naming the output file with an attribute name? Or is this an attribute that should reside inside the E57 file?

If it's the first I have attached an image that would give you an idea how to name output files with an attribute
