Deployment Header

The deployment header is the first thing stored in memory by the data logger; it is written at the time of a successful enable command, and contains meta-information about the deployment and about the logger.

The details of the header contents do not depend on the data storage format used; only the location of the header is affected:

1. in Standard format (rawbin00), the header is stored at the beginning of dataset-1, prior to any sample data or events.
2. in EasyParse format (calbin00), the header is stored in dataset-2 by itself.  This header is not necessary for complete EasyParse downloads.
   

The section which follows describes only the current version; in general, newer versions contain only additions to previous versions.  A brief history of the versions is given below.
