BIN Header Format
File Header
There is only one file header in a binary file. The file header consists of the
following information.
Cookie Two byte characters, AG, which indicates that
the file is in the Agilent Binary Data file format.
Version Two bytes which represent the file version.
File Size An integer (4 byte signed) which is the number
of bytes that are in the file.
Number of
Waveforms
An integer (4 byte signed) which is the number
of waveforms that are stored in the file.
Waveform Header
The waveform header contains information about the type of waveform data
that is stored following the waveform data header which is located after each
waveform header. Because it is possible to store more than one waveform in
the file, there will be a waveform header and a waveform data header for each
waveform.
Header Size An integer (4 byte signed) which is the number
of bytes in the header.
Waveform Type An integer (4 byte signed) which is the type of
waveform that is stored in the file. The follow
shows what each value means.
0 = Unknown
1 = Normal
2 = Peak Detect
3 = Average
4 = Horizontal Histogram
5 = Vertical Histogram
6 = Logic
Number of
Waveform Buffers
An integer (4 byte signed) which is the number
of waveform buffers required to read the data.
