.RBN

Raw Data

Binary

Raw data file produced by the LISST-200X. In
addition to raw scattering data, RBN files
contain a complete description of the
instrument configuration, its most recent
background scattering, and the factory
background.

.CSV

Processed Data

ASCII

Comma-delimited file containing size
distributions and meta data. Details on page
80. For information about generating these
files in the LISST-200X, see Autonomous
Real-time Data Processing on page 52.

Secondary files not used for standard processing

.BGT

Background File

ASCII

Comma-delimited file containing the raw ring
values from a single background measurement
(1 column, 59 rows)

.RTX

Raw Data

ASCII

Comma delimited ASCII representation of raw
data (59 columns, 1 measurement per row).
NOTE: Sequoia software does not process
RTX files. They are only for troubleshooting or
special applications.
