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
