Licel Raw Data Format

The header lines (ASCII format) have a length of 80 characters, where the two last characters are <CRLF>. The header lines are followed by the data in binary format. The first header line contains the filename,

• which begins with a letter.
• The next characters represent the year after 2000 (two digits),
• the month (hexadecimal, one digit),
• the day (decimal, two digits),
• the hour (decimal, two digits),
• a period (.),
• the minute (decimal, two digits),
• the seconds (decimal, two digits),
• and the first 2 decimal places of the seconds (decimal, two digits).

• measurement site (8 characters),
• measurement start time,

• the altitude above sea level (m),
• the longitude and
• the latitude.
• the zenith angle

• the number of laser shots of the Type 1 laser,
• the repetition rate of the Type 1 laser,
• the number of laser shots of the Type 2 laser,
• the repetition rate of the Type 2 laser
• and the number of the following data sets are given.

The header lines specific to the data sets contain:

• data set active (1/0). Non-active data sets will not be written.
• photon counting I Analog (1/0)
• laser type
• number of data points
• the number 1
• High voltage of the PM (V)
• bin width
• wavelength (nm) followed by a period (.)
• polarization status 0 - none p - parallel s - perpendicular
• 0 0 00 000
• the number of bits of the ADC
• the number of shots
• discriminator level or data range of the ADC
• device identificator
