ADAKOS disk, a file consists of two parts: the so-called
--1 sector and the actual file data. The --1 sector is
is a sequence of 256 24 bit words (or 768 bytes). Its first
part contains ADAKOS file information such as file name, file size
etc. as described in the ASPECT system software manual. Its second
part contains DISNMRacquisition and processing parameters, if the
file is a DISNMR data file. The program TCP always sends the --1
sector, followed by the actual file data to the network or archive
in form of a byte stream. After the file having arrived on the
destination device, it will consists of a sequence of bytes. The
first 768 bytes represent the --1 sector, all following bytes form
the file data. Three adjacent bytes form a 24 bit ASPECT word with the
following byte ordering: the first byte of a 3-byte block represents
bits 7-0 of an ASPECT word, the second byte bits 15-8, and the third
one bits 23-16.
This file format is valid for all types of ASPECT files sent off,
such as DISNMR data files, text files, program files etc. DISNMR data
files can be converted to UXNMR or WINNMR data sets by the
conversion commands of these programs.
ASPECT text files can be converted to UNIX or DOS format via the
aspcon program described earlier.
