✦ Synopsis

A universal data header for computerized data transfer between different research centers has been developed and successfully tested. The structure of this data header allows for data interchange irrespective of the internal data representation of the processor used. The first 128 byte are used for description of data structure followed by dynamically allocated space for string variables, event data, and measured data. Test programs written in Turbopascal and C are available on floppy disk (formatted for MS-DOS or OS/9) from the authors upon request.
