; Explanation of the formats of waveforms and their descriptors on the
; LeCroy Digital Oscilloscopes,
;     Software Release 44.1.1.1, 94/04/18.
;
; A descriptor and/or a waveform consists of one or several logical data blocks
; whose formats are explained below.
; Usually, complete waveforms are read: at the minimum they consist of
;       the basic descriptor block WAVEDESC
;       a data array block.
; Some more complex waveforms, e.g. Extrema data or the results of a Fourier
; transform, may contain several data array blocks.
; When there are more blocks, they are in the following sequence:
;       the basic descriptor block WAVEDESC
;       the history text descriptor block USERTEXT (may or may not be present)
;       the time array block (for RIS and sequence acquisitions only)
;       data array block
;       auxiliary or second data array block
;
; In the following explanation, every element of a block is described by a
; single line in the form
;
;    :  ; 
;
;  where
;
;    = position in bytes (decimal offset) of the variable,
;                     relative to the beginning of the block.
;
;    = name of the variable.
;
;    = string        up to 16-character name
;                                     terminated with a null byte
;                       byte         8-bit signed data value
;                       word        16-bit signed data value
