Bottle log information - output bottle file, containing bottle firing
sequence number and position, date, time, and beginning and
ending scan numbers for each bottle closure. Beginning and
ending scan numbers correspond to approximately a 1.5-second

SEASAVE each time a bottle fire confirmation is received from
a water sampler. File can be used by SBE Data Processing’s
Data Conversion module.
.dat
Data file - binary raw data file created by SEASAVE from
real-time data stream from SBE 911, 911e, or 911plus. File
includes header information. File can be used by SBE Data
Processing’s Data Conversion module.
.hex
Data file:
• Hexadecimal raw data file created by SEASAVE from real-
time data stream from SBE 16, 16plus, 19, 19plus, 21,
25, and 49. Data uploaded from instrument’s memory (not
applicable to SBE 49) also has this extension.
• Data uploaded from SBE 17plus (used with SBE 9plus).
• Converted (engineering units) data file created by
SEASAVE from real-time data stream from SBE 45.
File includes header information. File can be used by SBE Data
Processing’s Data Conversion module.
.hdr
Header file – Includes same header information (software
version, sensor serial numbers, instrument configuration, etc.) as
in .hex or .dat data file.
.mrk
Mark scan information - output marker file containing sequential
mark number, system time, and data for selected variables.
