WAVECOM Data File Format

The decoder is able to save data and decoder settings in a special binary file format called WDA, which is
described in this section. WDA files may used to provide input for the BitView Tool.

WDA files are capable of storing various kinds of information:

Text data

Graphics data

FELDHELL data

Signal analysis data

SAT mode data

Classifier data

Classifier CodeCheck data

Sonagram data

All types of WDA files contain a header that identifies the type of data stored in the file and other infor-
mation related to the stored data and the data proper (see below).

File Header

Identical information is stored in the first 64 Bytes of the header, but depending on the data stored in the
data part of the file, the header may contain additional information, which increases its size.

The default size of the file header is 64 bytes.

The Signature is always “WDA”.

Note: Older versions may carry the signatures “W51PC”, “W41PC” or “W40PC”.

The File Type is dependent on the stored data and can have the following values:

Text
