VBOX III ‘.VBO’ file format 

The VBOX III data files are saved in standard space de-limited text format. 
This allows the data to easily be imported into third party applications such as 
word processors or spreadsheets. The files each contain a header section 
before the main data that describes the channel content and information 
about the VBOXIII such as serial number and firmware version. 
 
The [Column names] parameter specifies the data in each column of the data 
section. 
 
An example of a VBOX VBO file is shown on the right.
