4.5.2 File Specifications
Some information about the experiment is saved together with the data. This information is
displayed on the File Info page. It is very important to adjust other tools in the rack according
to this information, especially if you have triggered data. See also "Triggered Data" for more
information on this subject.
The following additional information is stored.
 Start and stop time (and date) of the recording
 Number of data streams
 Number of sweeps
 Pre-trigger event and window extent
 Sampling rate
 MC_Rack version that has been used to record the data file
The Buffer Info page shows all channels of the present data streams.
4.5.3 Replaying Data
The Replayer acts as a data source in MC_Rack, similar to the MC_Card or other data acquisition
devices: Instead of recording data from the data acquisition board, it "generates" a data stream
output by replaying a previously recorded data file. The data stream output of the Replayer can
be assigned to the tools in your rack for reviewing data and / or offline analysis. The Replayer
works similar to a tape deck or media player. You start to replay the loaded data file by clicking
the Start button on the toolbar.
You can define the speed as well as pause and continue the replay. You can also define the start
time, when the replay will begin. This is especially useful for long recordings that stretch across
several hours. In addition to the automatic mode, you can also move through the file in single
steps.
