H MathCad creates files (.DAT) in a format usable by MathCad.
Note that the MathCad file is an ASCII file, the first four values of which
contain header information:
H The first header value holds the record length.
H The second header value holds time, in seconds, between samples.
H The third header value holds the trigger position
(expressed as an index in the data position).
H The fourth header value refers to the fractional trigger position.
Also note that the delimiters are carriage returns.
