Time-series file format

 The Y_file is a binary file containing time-series data as a sequence of blocks. Each block is a record for a segment of time-series and is preceded by a header containing specific information about the block. These files consist of 2-byte integer, low-high byte words and each block in the file contains data in the following order.  

Decimation exponent

Segment number: count for the current band where the initial count 0

Gain - filter setting register:, unsigned

xlength: x dipole length in cm

ylength: y dipole length in cm

Length: no of points in data, (number of channels * number of times)

Number of channels

1st channel’s data, 1st time

2nd channels data, 1St time

3rd channel’s data, 1st time

4th channel’s data, 1st time

1st channel’s data, 2nd time

2nd channel’s data, 2nd time

3rd channel’s data, 2nd time

4th channel’s data, 2nd time

4th channel’s data, length/number of channels
