The Data Curve

In the sample data file, the data portion of the file begins with this line.

CURVE TABLE 200

The tag identifies the data set as a TABLE data type Data Type, and identifier of  CURVE, and with 200 data points. Other tag identifiers are possible. The software uses the CURVE tag, or close variants for most of its standard techniques. Some TABLE types do not specify the number of data points. This number is not required.

The first line following the data type is a set of descriptive column headings. These headings are for file readability only. The DC Corrosion analysis scripts do not use the column headings to identify data positions within the curve. Click on each heading to get a description.
