#Rainflow Counted History Data Example
#
#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.
