File

mode

rate

@todo Add extract of example.conf

File Format

This node-type uses a simple human-readable format to save samples: The format is similiar to a conventional CSV (comma seperated values) file. Every line in a file correspondents to a message / sample of simulation data. The columns of a line are seperated by whitespaces (tabs or spaces). The columns are defined as follows:

1. Floating point timestamp in seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 (aka Unix Epoch ).
2. Up to MSG_VALUES floating point values per sample. The values are seperated by whitespaces as well.
