Now that the configuration has been processed and the number of valid channels has been determined, the scan data can be processed.

/* Measurements are stored in scan records of variable size.

**This C structure is the decoded version of a scan record,

**and is of fixed size (unused measurement values are not set).

**In each data file, after the 730 bytes of configuration data, an

**array of scan records may be found (it is possible for data files

**to have no scan data). This routine converts a single scan record

**

**Note that convert_config() must be called before this routine!

**Inputs:

**

hydra

File configuration data.

**

max_index

number of channels in scan record and

**

index_to_chan

the table of non-off channels

**

file_data

A single scan record from the same data file.

**

 

that was last processed by convert_config().

**

 

Note that this routine assumes that the

**

 

number of bytes in this buffer is exactly the

**

 

number of bytes per scan record.

**

scan

Pointer to destination scan record buffer.

**

 

 

** Outputs:

 

**

scan

Set to converted version of scan record.
