Overview

There are three major types of deployment information stored in a logger's memory: 

1. a deployment header, which contains meta-information about the logger and the deployment parameters.
2. sample data, comprising sets of measured values from all active channels in the logger.
3. events, which are records of non-sample incidents used to aid interpretation, or for diagnostics.

Below is a brief overview of the available storage formats used to record all this information: detailed descriptions are presented in later sections. To determine which storage formats are available, use the memformat support command. If the logger does not recognize this command, then Standard format is the only one supported.
