  2. 20110302: Binary .raw data files released

Formats

This data is available in binary .raw and .mat formats. A new file is created for each numbered experiment that is downloaded from the CSEM Receiver. The filename is appended with the experiment start time and the experiment number (e.g., UOT_CSEM_20110315T212751Z-20110303T025924_11.raw, where 11 is the experiment number). If the date and time limits of your search criteria are mid-experiment, the full experiment is still returned.

Content descriptions and example files are provided below.
