Appendix 5 ASCII Data File Format
The format of the data file when signals are stored in ASCII format is shown below.
Data
Header Size
The number of header lines.
Model Name
Model name.
Comment
The comment that was entered when the data was saved.
BlockNumber
The number of blocks in this group.
The maximum number of blocks if the number of blocks varies between
waveforms.
TraceName
Name of each waveform.
BlockSize
The number of data points in a single block of each waveform.
VUnit
The unit used on the Y-axis of each waveform (no effect on the data).
Sample Rate
The sample rate used to acquire the signal.
HResolution
The value of coefficient HResolution of the X-axis conversion equation of
each waveform.
X-axis value = HResolution × (Data No. – 1) + HOffset
HOffset
The value of coefficient HOffset of the X-axis conversion equation of each
waveform.
X-axis value = HResolution × (Data No. – 1) + HOffset
HUnit
The unit used on the X-axis of each waveform (no effect on the data).
DisplayBlockSize The length of the data displayed on the screen (display record length).
DisplayPointNo.
A value indicating the memory position (n
th
point in the memory)
corresponding the left end of the display record length.
Date
The date when signal acquisition was completed.
Time
The time when signal acquisition was completed.
