double precision 64-bit float point number. If the value is
zero, then no data has been acquired.
X Units
A 4-byte integer, indicating the unit of measurement for X
values in the acquired data.
0 = Unknown
1 = Volts (V)
2 = Seconds (s)
3 = Constant
4 = Amps (A)
5 = dB
6 = Hz
Y Units
A 4-byte integer, indicating the unit of measurement for Y
values in the acquired data. The possible values are listed
above under X Units.
Date
A 16-byte character array, not used
Time
A 16-byte character array, not used
Frame
A 24-byte character array, indicating the model number and
serial number of the oscilloscope in the format:
MODEL#:SERIAL#.
Waveform
Label
A 16-byte character array that contains the label assigned to
the waveform.
3. Waveform Data Header
A waveform may have multiple data sets. Each waveform data set has a
waveform data header. The waveform data header consists of information about
the waveform data set. The header is stored before the data set.
Header Size
A 4-byte integer, indicating the number of bytes in
the waveform data header.
Buffer Type
A 2-byte integer, indicating the type of the
waveform data stored in the file.
0 = Unknown
1 = Normal 32-bit float data
2 = Maximum float data
3 = Minimum float data
4 = Not Used
5 = Not Used
6 = Digital unsigned 8-bit character data (for
digital channels)
Bytes Per Point
A 2-byte short integer, indicating the number of
bytes per data point.
Buffer Size
A 4-byte integer, indicating the size of the buffer
required to hold the data points.
Note: DS8000-R series does not support the digital channel.
