Table 2 Example format file created for an SRM measurement file

################################################################################

# Follow the instruction below to prepare a format file for 2G Long Core software

# produced measurement data file.

#

# (1) Make sure different columns in the measurement file are tab-delimited.

# (2) In the first column below, write down column numbers for ALL columns present

# in the measurement file without skipping any columns.

# (3) In the second column below, for each column in measurement file indicate if

# that column contains number (%f) or string (%s).

# (4.1) In the third column below, give each column a name. Names can only contain

# letters or numbers and should not start with a number.

# (4.2) Make sure there are no spaces before and after the column names.

# (4.3) The following 12 columns are required and must present in the measurement file:

# "sampleID", "position" "runNumber", "afz", "leaderLength", "trailerLength",

# "declination", "inclination", "intensity", "xcorr", "ycorr", "zcorr".

# Column Names and Format Strings for the required columns must be exactly

# the same (case-sensitive) as shown in this format file. If any of the required

# columns are missing in the measurement file, users need to calculate and add

# them to the measurement file. Users may consider modifying 2G Long Core software

# configuration to include all columns required by UDECON for future measurements.
