HP 16500B File System Directory Structure
Label Data Files: \slot_x\data.asc\{analyzer name}\{label name}.txt
Both analyzer subdirectories contain files corresponding to the labels you
have set up in that analyzer's Format Menu. These files contain the
current measurement data for the channels assigned to each label.
Both state and timing data are available, and both kinds of data are
represented as a column of values. The numeric base - hex, binary, etc., in
these files is the same as the base that is currently set in the HP 16550A
Listing Menu.
The 1st_line.txt File The 1st_line.txt file lists the number of the
first line of the most recent data acquisition.
This file shows the number of states that occur before the trigger state, which
is always state zero (at line number 0). You can use this information to align
data from different measurements.
Time Tag and State Tag Data If time tags have been turned on, the
time_abs.txt file contains a column of time values for the most
current state or timing measurement.
If state tags have been turned on, the state_abs.txt file contains a
column of state count values for the most current state measurement.
Line Numbers The line_num.txt file contains line numbers
corresponding to the lines of data in a state listing.
