BINF (Little-Endian Real32 Binary)
Sharing Data With Other Applications
You can save and recall recordings in BINF (*.binf, Little-Endian Real32 Binary) format, allowing you to share recordings between the VSA software and other programs that support BINF files.
Data format
The BINF file contains an even number of unscaled 2's complement, 32-bit, byte-reversed, little-endian (not byte-swapped on x86 processors) I/Q binary samples with no descriptive information.
The 89600 VSA stores a Data Header for the BINF recording in a separate file with the same name as the recording with ".TXT" appended to the file name. The Data Header is stored in the same format as a Text (Tab delimited) file. When you recall the BINF file into the 89600 VSA, this text file containing the Data Header must be in the same directory as the BINF file. If the Data Header file is not found, the 89600 VSA applies the current measurement's Input Range, Span, and Center Frequency settings to the waveform.
