Extended Type 3000/5000
|
|
- Extended Type 3000
- Similar to a "Standard" Type 3000 file, except that it is not limited to 26 subrecords.
- Extended Type 5000
- Similar to a "Standard" Type 5000 file, except that it is not limited to 14 subrecords.
- Support for Extended Type 3000/5000
- Increasing the number of subrecords is done by extending the size of the adjunct header
beyond 256 bytes.
- A field in the main header specifies the data start position, so
this does not cause problems with reading the data in the file.
- Extended Type 3000/5000 files are not part of version 1.0 of the BLUE file specification
and are only supported by NeXtMidas.
- There is ongoing discussion about including Extended Type 3000 files in version 1.1 of
BLUE file specification since this would allow users to create Type 3000 files with 26+
subrecords without the need to use a Type 6000 file.
