File Format
The file used with commands contains a header and a list of parameters.
Transducer calibrations can be uploaded and saved individually. If a test needs to
be rerun at a later date but the original transducer is not available, another
transducer can be used by downloading its calibration information.
The header must be the first thing in the file, and it must be in the form:
[SWIFT]
Following the header is a list of parameter settings. The syntax is:
