Data File-Format Elements

HEADER

File headers provide metadata that describe the data in the file. A TOA5 header
contains the metadata described below. Other data formats contain similar
information unless a non-header format option is selected in the TableFile()
instruction in the CR1000 CRBasic program.

Line 1 – Data Origins

Includes the following metadata series: file type, station name, CR1000 
model name, CR1000 serial number, OS version, CRBasic program 
name, program signature, data‐table name. 

Line 2 – Data-Field Names

Lists the name of individual data fields.  If the field is an element of an 
array, the name will be followed by a comma‐separated list of 
subscripts within parentheses that identifies the array index. For 
example, a variable named “values” that is declared as a two‐by‐two 
array, i.e., 

Public

Values(2,2)

will be represented by four field names: “values(1,1)”, “values(1,2)”, 
“values(2,1)”, and “values(2,2)”.  Scalar (non‐array) variables will not 
have subscripts. 

Line 3 – Data Units

Includes the units associated with each field in the record.  If no units 
are programmed in the CR1000 CRBasic program, an empty string is 
entered for that field. 

Line 4 – Data-Processing Descriptors

Entries describe what type of processing was performed in the CR1000 
to produce corresponding data, e.g., Smp indicates samples, Min 
indicates minima.  If there is no recognized processing for a field, it is 
assigned an empty string.  There will be one descriptor for each field 
name given on Header Line 2.
