The CSV file contains header information followed by three sections that provide the pattern information. The three sections following the file header are the Signal Properties, Pattern Header, and Pattern Items. Specific keywords are required in each section.
The File Header must begin with the keyword PATTERN_FILE and the header must contain a value for PATTERN_NAME. Each of the three sections that follow the header must appear in the following order, and begin and end with specific keyword pairs:
Signal Properties lists the Pulse Building signal properties:
SIGNAL_PROPERTIES_BEGIN, SIGNAL_PROPERTIES_END
See Signal Properties for details.
Pattern Header lists the order information of the pulse pattern details:
PATTERN_HEADER_BEGIN, PATTERN_HEADER_END
See Pattern Header for details.
Pattern Items lists the pulse pattern detail data:
PATTERN_ITEMS_BEGIN, PATTERN_ITEMS_END
See Pattern Items for details.
In each section, you may insert comments in rows between the two keywords using the symbol # as the first character in the line.
