Section 2. Data Storage and Retrieval
2.4.2 TOA5 ASCII File Format
TOA5 data files are stored in a comma separated format. Header
information for each of the columns is included, along with field names and
units of measure if they are available. TOA5 file formats can be created
with or without Time Stamps and Record Numbers.
Figure 2.4-2 shows an example of a data file collected as TOA5 with time
stamps and record numbers. The Data file was collected using RTDAQ's
collection window.
