Import REAL48 (binary) into an external application

[Moke]

Hello,

I need to import binary REAL48 data into an external C++ program. What is the best way of doing this ?

In case of having to write a conversion - What is the layout of the bits involved ?

Best Regards,

Moke

Hello Moke,

I am attatching a PDF with the Data Set Description. It will give you an idea how to interpret the header and the binary data.

Hello IngoS,

having read your response, I realized how bad my initial description of the problem was . I  know the document you refer to.

By using this specification I am importing succesfully 4 Byte and 8 Byte floating point values. The issue is to convert the 48 bit values into

floats /doubles in C++.

Thanks a lot for your quick response anyway.

Best Regards,

Moke.

Hello Moke,

The data types used in the DIAdem DAT format correspond to those that were common in Pascal programming. Have a look at this link to learn a bit more about the Pascal data types.

I am hoping you find this information a bit useful.

Hello Moke,

you can find an example here.
