Binary Description page (Import File Description wizard)

 

Use this page to specify the type and format for importing binary files.

 

File has a Header

Check this box to specify that the binary file contains a leading binary header value.

 

 

Header Data Type

 

Integer

Select this option to specify that the header value is a binary integer.

 

Floating-Point

Select this option to specify that the header value is a binary number in floating-point representation.

 

 

Header Type Size

Select from this list the size in bytes for the selected Header Data Type.

 

1 Byte

Select this option to specify that the header data type is one byte long (integer types only).

 

2 Bytes

Select this option to specify that the header data type is two bytes long (integer types only).

 

4 Bytes

Select this option to specify that the header data type is four bytes long.

 

8 Bytes

Select this option to specify that the header data type is eight bytes long (floating-point types only).

 

Row Description

 

Number of Columns

Type in this box the number of values that make a binary line (row).

 

Data Description

 

Data Type

Select from this list the binary type of the values.

 

Integer

Select this option to specify that all values are binary integers.

 

Floating-Point

Select this option to specify that all values are numbers in floating-point representation.

 

 

Data Type Size

Select from this list the size in bytes of the selected Data Type.

 

1 Byte

Select this option to specify that the data type is one byte long (integer types only).

 

2 Bytes

Select this option to specify that the data type is two bytes long (integer types only).

 

4 Bytes

Select this option to specify that the data type is four bytes long.

 

8 Bytes

Select this option to specify that the data type is eight bytes long.

 

Binary Format

 

Byte Order

Select from this list the byte order in which the binaries are encoded.

 

Little Endian

Select this option to specify that binary bytes are ordered little-end-first, where the bytes at lower memory addresses have lower significance.

 

Big Endian

Select this option to specify that binary bytes are ordered big-end-first, where the bytes at lower memory addresses have higher significance.
