What is the .bin data format if I use "AsyncRawCaptureToFile"?

Question

I am using the "AsyncRawCaptureToFile" command to capture large data sets fast. They are saved as .bin file. Now what is the data format the bin file is using?

Hi DRrieg , The format can vary, it's intended to be the raw data received from the FPGA.

Typically this will be 16-bit little endian interleaved Channel Complex or Real data. e.g.
Index0 CH0 I LSB
Index1 CH0 I MSB
Index2 CH0 Q LSB
Index3 CH0 Q MSB
Index4 CH1 I LSB
...

It varies from product to product and depends on the Capture settings, resolution, etc
