GSE File Format

GSE File Format

Scream can save files in GSE 2.0 format, cm6 subformat. See Recording Options.

Files are recorded using the parameters specified in the recording options, including fragmentation and directory. Filenames are created using the same date-coding system as ‘.gcf’ files, but use the extension ‘.cm6’.

If a discontinuity is detected in the data stream, then the file will be closed, and a new file opened with a filename timestamp matching the start of the new file. Note that this operation overrides the fragmentation (size or duration) specified in the setup.

Normal Filestamping will resume on the next fragmentation time/size interval. E.g. If 1 hour files are specified, then a new file will be opened on the hour, every hour, whether or not a discontinuity during the previous hour caused a new file to be opened.
