Data file extensions are shown in parentheses.
19.1 MS Access 2000 (MDB)
This is the native format for FwdWin data files. Field data is stored in a number of tables as
shown in the following relational diagram:
The Sessions and Transducers
tables record ‘Header’
information when an MDB file
is created and every time it
eventually is re-opened
(actually this information is
updated when you CLOSE the
file).
The Stations table records
information about each
particular testing location.
The Drops table records all
drops and lastly, the Histories
table records the time history if
so programmed in the Test
Setup.
