Waveform Data Header
A waveform may have more than one data set. Each waveform
data set will have a waveform data header. The waveform data
header consists of information about the waveform data set.
This header is stored immediately before the data set.
Waveform Data Header Size
A 32-bit integer that is the size of
the waveform data header.
Buffer Type
A 16-bit short that is the type of waveform data
stored in the file:
• 0 = Unknown data.
• 1 = Normal 32-bit float data.
• 2 = Maximum float data.
• 3 = Minimum float data.
• 4 = Not used in 6000 Series oscilloscopes.
• 5 = Not used in 6000 Series oscilloscopes.
• 6 = Digital unsigned 8-bit char data (for digital channels).
Bytes Per Point
A 16-bit short that is the number of bytes per
data point.
Buffer Size
A 32-bit integer that is the size of the buffer
required to hold the data points.
