File Size
Number of
Waveforms
2. Waveform Header
It is possible to store several waveforms in the file. Each stored waveform has a
waveform header. When several channels are stored, each channel can be
considered as a separate waveform. The waveform header contains the
information about the type of waveform data that are stored following the
waveform data header.
