Revision History
- 20120519: Initial SMB product released
Formats
This data is available in SMB format (the log file is a internal Neptune Canada format). Log files are created daily at midnight UTC from data acquired throughout the day. Shortly thereafter, the SMB files are processed and made available to data search. Content descriptions are provided below.
SMB
This binary format is specific to the manufacturer. When using Kongsberg Mesotech data acquisition software, data is normally stored in this way. Although we use custom-built drivers to communicate with our instruments, we can use the raw data in the log file to produce the SMB file which can be interpreted by Kongsberg Mesotech MS1000 post-processing software.
This format is further described in the manufacturer's documentation: 900-00007904-2.1.pdf
Please note, this is a new data product. It has only been tested in MS1000 version 4.51. It's availability may be limited, there may be data gaps. Historic data will be reprocessed and will become available in the near future.
