Distributed Temperature Sensing JSON
This data product presents the encoded data arrays encapsulated in a JSON object collected by XT-DTS device. The json file includes three fields as described below. This file captures primarily the getDate command and instrument response exchange to this command.
- Type: describes the unencoded binary data format.
- Dim: indicates the length of the unencoded binary data array.
- Data: is the Base64 encoded data array. The encoding specification is supported by all mainstream general-purpose programming languages, including C++, Python and LabVIEW. The Base64 specification is defined in RFC 3548.
