1. Introduction
1-7. TAFFmat format
1-7-1. Type of files
The LX-1000 makes a binary-format data file and ASCII-
format header file each time recording stops or pauses.
Data file: Contains data converted from
analog to digital, etc.
(binary format with“dat” file
extension)
Header file: Contains recording conditions
and other information
Text (ASCII) format with “hdr”
file extension
Voice memo file*: Contains voice memo data
WAV format with “wav” file
extension
GPS file*: Contains GPS data
“gps” file extension
Index file: Contains recording conditions
and other information
Text (ASCII) format with “hdx”
file extension
*Files are created when recorded.
1-7-2. File name
The file name is common to the data file and header file.
An ID number is added to the end of the specified file
name. When you specify a new file name, the ID num-
ber starts from 1. After recording is stopped or paused,
the ID number is automatically incremented each time
the recording restarts. If a data file with the same name
or same ID number already exists when recording, the
next ID number is used.
Set the file name on the LXK Navi File Settings Screen
or the RECORDING FILE Settings Screen of the remote
control unit (optional). For the file name, use up to
29half-width alphanumeric characters. ID numbers
(starting from 001) with the set number of digits are
attached to file names.
When recording to an SD card, the number of digits is
fixed to 3, and the maximum number of characters is 32.
When recording to a computer, the number of digits
can be set from 3 to 5, and the maximum number of
characters is 32–34.
oIf the ID number exceeds the set number of digits,
recording will stop.

1-7-4. Data file
16-bit data converted from analog to digital is recorded as 2-byte integer values from -32768 to +32767 while 24-bit
converted data is recorded as 4-byte integer values from -8388608 to +8388607. Negative numbers are shown using
two’s-complement notation.
The byte order is from the lowest to the highest (Intel format).
The data order is from the first sampling channel to the second sampling channel and so on until the last sampling
channel. This order is called the INTERLACED format, and the format name is recorded in STORAGE_MODE in the
header file.
The structure of a data file is as follows. In this document, a collection of data as shown in the example is called a
“scan”. A data file is made of repeated scans.
Example of data for one scan recorded at 6kHz sampling frequency

1-7-4-1. Converting data to physical quantities
16-bit data converted from analog to digital is recorded as integer values from -32768 to +32767 and the value would
be ±25000 when the input is ±100% in the input range settings. 24-bit converted data is recorded as integer values
from -8388608 to +8388607 and the value would be ±6400000 when the input is ±100% in the input range settings.
The input value is obtained from the following formula:
Input value = (A/D conversion value of the data file) × SLOPE + Y_OFFSET
oSee “Explanations of header file”on page8 for information about SLOPE and Y_OFFSET.
1-7-5. Header file
Header files are ASCII-format text files containing information such as recording conditions.
In a header file, each recording-condition entry is written on 1line, with parameters separated by a comma (,). An
example of a header file is shown as follows.
