Names
Disk files created by the analyzer consist of a state name of up to eight
characters, such as FILTER, appended with up to two characters. In
LIF format, the file name is FILTERXX. In DOS format, the filename is
FILTERXX. The first appended character is the file type, telling the
kind of information in the
file.
The second appended character is a data
index, used to distinguish files of the same type.
Error-corrected data, raw data, formatted data, memory traces, and
calibration files are FORM 3 data files (IEEE 64-bit floating point
format). The other Eles are not meant to be decoded.
