  • trying to open the actual .ABR files - getting nowhere. Noticed the log files that were extracted dont have the info I need and need to see what info is in the actual data files.

Andy says it is an intel file - over skype trying to figure out the structure so we can read it - extracting info from abr.h and abr_4_mac.c

According to andy need to Read the first 1128 bytes then read the next 1000 2-byte int skip 52 read next 1000 points, and so on

Andy

Following file is from the ABR.H header file that was used for the original files.

File layout is probably: <Master_Header><Sub_Structure><1000 2-byte INT><Sub_Structure><1000 2-byte INT> ...

This structure needs to be confirmed.
