Appendix 5 ASCII Data File Format
The format of the data file when signals are stored in ASCII format is shown below.
Header Size The number of header lines.
Model Name Model name.
Comment The comment that was entered when the data was saved.
BlockNumber The number of blocks in this group.
The maximum number of blocks if the number of blocks varies between
waveforms.
TraceName Name of each waveform.
BlockSize The number of data points in a single block of each waveform.
VUnit The unit used on the Y-axis of each waveform (no effect on the data).
Sample Rate The sample rate used to acquire the signal.
HResolution The value of coefficient HResolution of the X-axis conversion equation of
each waveform.
X-axis value = HResolution × (Data No. – 1) + HOffset
HOffset The value of coefficient HOffset of the X-axis conversion equation of each
waveform.
X-axis value = HResolution × (Data No. – 1) + HOffset
HUnit The unit used on the X-axis of each waveform (no effect on the data).
DisplayBlockSize The length of the data displayed on the screen (display record length).
DisplayPointNo. A value indicating the memory position (n
th
point in the memory)
corresponding the left end of the display record length.
Date The date when signal acquisition was completed.
Time The time when signal acquisition was completed.
