some columns may be omitted):  
# <Date> <Time>, <Inputs/Measurement modes>, <Sampling rate>, <Number of measurement re-
cords>  
Index (tab) Absolute date/time (tab) Relative time (tab) <Quantity at analogue input A>[<Unit for ana-
logue input A>] (tab) <Quantity at analogue input B>[<Unit for analogue input B>] (tab) Dig A (tab) Dig
