#Note that the fde.uwaterloo.ca site does not handle rainflow files yet
#but the calculation programs such as  
#    saefcalc2.f
#do use this format.
#The data can be in any units for the signal, but must use CYCLES
#(rather than reversals) as the event counter.  Numbers are to be 
#read (and could be written) in "free format", i.e.: separated by 
#one or more blanks. Note that blank lines are allowed amoungst 
#the data lines.  In normal practice the SIGNAL values will be read 
#by computers into REAL storage locations.  CYCLES are generally 
#expected to be INTEGERS.  Some rainflow counting methods, however,
#create unmatched 1/2 cycles, and in consequence give a cycle count
#such as  "1050.5" for example.  Thus the cycle numbers should
#be read as REAL*8 or DOUBLE PRECISION when such fractional cycles
#are expected.
#
#No special delimiters are used as "End-of-File", it is up to the 
#reading program to detect the EOF by itself.  (On some machines 
#it may be wise to place an extra blank line as the last line, 
#otherwise the last data line may not be read)
#You can also "force" an end of data by inserting a line with
#each column entry as  Zero.

#Data column code shown below:
#    Col.1      Col.2        Col.3    Col.4      Col.5
#Signal Range  Sig.Mean    No.Cycles  Sig.Max.  Sig.Min.
