BKR-Format V 2.07

 

A BKR-file starts with a header containing information like sample frequency, number of channels etc. .... The second part of the files is the data block with samples values for each channel. The size of the data block is given by the number of trials (ntr), channels (nch), number of samples per trial (nsp) and the datasize of a sample value (2 Bytes for SSHORT). If the file is untriggered the datablock ends with the BKR-file.
