TSV files Format

See also Generic CSV format.

This tab separated file contains a selection of data from one data packet with a set of # comments describing the packet.

The file contains one line for each packet with each line containing, the date and three entries for each data value Physical Value, Raw Value, Condition Flag.

e.g. DRPPC Generated file

The Label values comment is used by PrestoPlot to populate label axes with all the possible values of a label transfer function, even when they are not present in the data file.

The Description comment is used by PrestoPlot in the Information column, for the respective data, of the Data Sets window, if these comments are not present the APID comment will be used.

The Condition Flag is not used by PrestoPlot.

PrestoDecom can add a baseline date for simulator data to the .tsv file:

e.g. # Offset : » 2003/05/12 00:00:12.330 » DATE » [delta]

This entry is used to give the Date value for the 0.0 simulation date and is used by PrestoPlot as a constant offset to all date values for this file. The optional delta value will be added as a numerical correction factor.

Note

All values in this file are separated by tabs (»).
