Identifier for data type (raw)
The next data lines contain the measuring heights. It begins with the capital
letter H (H means height) and two space characters. The following numbers
(9 digits decimal each) represent the measuring heights in meters.
The height line is followed by the line of the transfer function. It starts with the
capital characters TF (Transfer Function) and one space character. The rest of
that line represents the values of the transfer function for each height step
(9 digits decimal each).
The line of the transfer function is followed by 64 data lines. Each one starts
with the capital character F and a 2-digit number of the spectra line (0 to 63).
The rest of these lines represent the received spectral signal power in
engineering units for each height step (9 digits decimal each).
The raw spectra include the receiver noise floor.
