Hi Frank,

 

DPF is a text file of the format:

 

This file also be created using a simple text editor (such as windows notepad or DOS-Editor).

Data is stored line by line in ASCII format.

 

The following structure has to be observed:

1. row: INTERPOLATION

2. row: Name (free Text, max. 40 characters)
3. row: Number of columns;
max 17; (first column x values + max 16 columns y values.

You must insert ”2” if you you use a one-channel reference file.

(Values of the columns has to increase monotonically)

 

4. row: Number of data rows

The number of the following lines has to be exactly the same as defined in the previous line.

last line: EOF

 

The single columns are divided by space characters

Example 1:

INTERPOLATION

-1500 1.5151

-100 3.7456
