Question :
What is the description of the data placed in an oscilloscope "Mathcad", "MATLAB" formatted header file?
Answer :
The Mathcad, or MATLAB files saved by Tektronix Windows based Oscilloscopes with the hdr.dat file extension have a five line header with the structure as follows:
RecordLength := header0 Number of acquired data points
TimePerPoint := header1 Time between data samples
TriggerPosition := header2 Index to the trigger position in the data record
FractionalTriggerPos := header3 Fraction of a sample interval to the trigger position
Horizontal Offset in Seconds :=header4 Time position of the first sample in the data record
The sample values are then listed in the .dat file.
