File Header

There is only one file header in a binary file. The file header consists of
the following information.
Cookie Two byte characters, AG, which indicates that the file is in the Agilent
Binary Data file format.
Version
Two bytes which represent the file version.
File Size An integer (4 byte signed) which is the number of bytes that are in the
file.
Number of
An integer (4 byte signed) which is the number of waveforms that are
Waveforms stored in the file.

Waveform Header

The waveform header contains information about the type of waveform
data that is stored following the waveform data header which is located
after each waveform header. Because it is possible to store more than one
waveform in the file, there will be a waveform header and a waveform
data header for each waveform.
Header Size
An integer (4 byte signed) which is the number of bytes in the header.
Waveform Type An integer (4 byte signed) which is the type of waveform that is stored in
the file. The follow shows what each value means.
0 = Unknown
1 = Normal
2 = Peak Detect
3 = Average
4 = Horizontal Histogram
5 = Vertical Histogram
6 = Logic
