    • getInstrument

      terrenus.instrument.Instrument getInstrument()
      Gets the data instrument.

    • getStartDate

      Date getStartDate()
      Gets the data start date.

    • getEndDate

      Date getEndDate()
      Gets the data end date.

    • getRecordCount

      int getRecordCount()
      Gets the number of data records in the data file.

    • getHeaderCount

      int getHeaderCount()
      Gets the number of header records in the data file.

    • getFormatVersion

      int getFormatVersion()
      Gets the file format version number.
      Returns:

      Gets the size of each header and data record in bytes.

    • getDataRecord

      DataRecord getDataRecord(ByteBuffer inputBuffer)
      Creates a data record using the specified data.
      Parameters:
      inputBuffer - the buffer to read for byte data.

    • getRecordAttSize

      int getRecordAttSize()

    • getCalibration

      float[] getCalibration()
      Gets the calibration data in the header.

    • getDatasetName

      String getDatasetName()
