Appendix A. Campbell Scientific File Formats
An example showing a TOA5 file containing the optional timestamp and
record number:
"TOA5","CR1000","CR1000","1031","CR1000.Std.00.60","CPU:Test.CR1","4062","Test"
"TIMESTAMP","RECORD","batt_volt_Min","PTemp"
"TS","RN","Volts","C"
"","","Min","Smp"
"2004-11-11 15:03:45",0,13.7,24.92
"2004-11-11 15:04:00",1,13.7,24.95
"2004-11-11 15:04:15",2,13.7,24.98
A.1.2 TOB1
TOB1 files can be generated by RTDAQ when saving data files to the PC.
This binary file format is typically only used when it is essential to minimize
the file size or when other software requires this format. It has the following
structure:
ASCII header line 1
ASCII header line2
ASCII header line3
ASCII header line 4
ASCII header line5
Binary Records
An example of a TOB1 ASCII header:
"TOB1","STATION","CR9000","1000","1.00","CPU:BIG.DLD","25871","VALUES"
"SECONDS","NANOSECONDS","RECORD","Array(1)","Array(2)","Fast","my_string"
"","","RN","mVolts","mVolts","mVolts"
"","","","Smp","Smp","Smp"
"ULONG","ULONG","ULONG","IEEE4","IEEE4","FP2","ASCII(25)"
Header line one describes the file environment with the following eight fields:
• Data file type (TOB1).
• Station name (STATION).
• Model name of the datalogger (CR9000).
• Serial number of the datalogger (1000).
• Operating system on the datalogger (1.00).
• Name of the program running in the datalogger (CPU:BIB.DLD).
• Signature of the program running in the datalogger (25871).
• The name of the datalogger table (VALUES).
