Basic Header

All BLUE files begin with the same basic header, which comprises the first 256 bytes in the file. Following is a list of basic header contents:

  • Number of file elements
  • File type
  • Data format
  • Write protection flag
  • Data acquisition information
  • Comments

At the NeXtMidas shell prompt (nM>), type EXPLAIN STATUS or EXPLAIN HEADERMOD for examples.
