1-7-3. Directory structure of media
The directory structure of each medium is as follows.

This directory is made automatically when the medium is
formatted. When the medium is inserted in an WX-7000, this
directory is made automatically if it does not already exist.

recorded) created for a single ID
1-7-4. Data file
16-bit data converted from analog to digital is recorded as 2-byte
integer values from –32768 to +32767 while 24-bit converted data
is recorded as 4-byte integer values from –8388608 to +8388607.
Negative numbers are shown using two’s-complement notation.
The byte order is from the lowest to the highest (Intel format).
The data order is from the first sampling channel to the second sam-
pling channel and so on until the last sampling channel. This order is
called the INTERLACED format, and the format name is recorded in
STORAGE_MODE in the header file.
The structure of a data file is as follows. In this document, a collec-
tion of data as shown in the example is called a “scan”. A data file is
made of repeated scans.
Example of data for one scan recorded at 6 kHz sampling frequency

1-7-5. Converting data to physical quantities
16-bit data converted from analog to digital is recorded as integer
values from –32768 to +32767 and the value would be ±25000
when the input is ±100% in the input range settings. 24-bit
converted data is recorded as integer values from –8388608 to
+8388607 and the value would be ±6400000 when the input is
±100% in the input range settings.
The input value is obtained from the following formula:
Input value = (A/D conversion value of the data file) × SLOPE +
Y_OFFSET
o See “Explanations of header file” on page 11 for information
about SLOPE and Y_OFFSET.
