  • trying to open the actual .ABR files - getting nowhere. Noticed the log files that were extracted dont have the info I need and need to see what info is in the actual data files.

Andy says it is an intel file - over skype trying to figure out the structure so we can read it - extracting info from abr.h and abr_4_mac.c

Andy

Following file is from the ABR.H header file that was used for the original files.

File layout is probably: <Master_Header><Sub_Structure><1000 2-byte INT><Sub_Structure><1000 2-byte INT> ... This structure needs to be confirmed.
