Table 2 Format of Binary Export data header.
Data is placed immediately after the data header. The size of the data block
is given by: Data size * Data count. Data is saved in double presition,
floating point or integer format given by the Data type value, see Table 3.
Data type Data size Data formats
0 8 bytes Double precision floating point
1 4 bytes Floating point
2 4 bytes Integer
Table 3 Data formats.
The header structures for C/C++ can be found in the “DXExportHeader.h"
file included in the samples directory on the CD-rom.
A sample program for the binary export is placed on the CD-rom. In the
samples directory a tool is also included for converting a binary export file
to an ASCII file.
//Ex1: Open and read file header information
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
char id[6] = {0}; // binary export file id
short version = 0; // file header version
long size = 0; // file header size
printf("Open and read file header information\n");
char filename[256] = {0};
strcpy(filename,argv[1]);
int fh = _open(filename,_O_RDONLY|_O_BINARY);
