Data File Header

The first line of the data file includes information like the decimal separator,
column separator, time formats, date formats, and so forth.

A typical header looks like this:

MTS793|MPT|ENU|1|0|.|/|:|1|0|0|A

The format of this header line is as follows:

MPT generates a header for each data file buffer when the Write First Data
Header
Only check box is disabled (unchecked). When the check box is
enabled, MPT suppresses all but the initial header.

Important

You can use the Write First Data Header Only check box to
specify whether or not headers are written to the buffer subsequent
to the initial header. This option is provided as an aid to data
sorting and analysis and is only provided for the Peak/Valley,
Timed, Level Crossing, Cyclic Acquisition, and High Speed
Acquisition processes.
