Binary Header Format
1. File Header
There is only one file header in a binary file. The file header contains the
following information.
Cookie
Tw o -byte characters, RG, indicating that the f ile is the RI GOL
binary data f ile format.
Version
Two bytes, indicating the f ile version.
File Size
A 4-byte integer, indicating the number of bytes in the f ile. I t
includes the header.
Number of
Waveforms
A 4-byte integer, indicating the number of waveforms that are
stored in the f ile.
2. Waveform Header
I t is possible to store several waveforms in the file. Each stored waveform has a
waveform header. When several channels are stored, each channel can be
considered as a separate waveform. The waveform header contains the
information about the type of waveform data that are stored following the
waveform data header.
Header Size
A 4-byte integer, indicating the number of bytes in the
header.
Waveform
Ty pe
A 4-byte integer, indicating the type of the waveform stored
in the f ile.
0 = Unknown
1 = Normal
2 = Peak Detection
3 = Average
4 = Not Used
5 = Not Used
6 = Logic
Number of
Waveform
Buffers
A 4-byte integer, indicating the number of waveform buffers
required to read the data.
Number of
Points
A 4-byte integer, indicating the number of waveform points in
the data.
Count
A 4-byte integer, indicating the number of hits at each time
interval during waveform recording when using a certain
sample mode (e.g. Average) to create the waveforms. For
example, when averaging, a count of 4 indicates that each
waveform data point in the waveform recording has been
averaged at least 4 times. The default value is 0.
X Display
Range
A 4-byte float, indicating the X-axis duration of the waveform
that is displayed. For time-domain waveforms,
