The next byte indicates whether this PQ record is continuous in monitoring with the previous record. If the byte is non-zero, then this is the first record recorded after a power-down, reset or download, and all unfinished durations prior to this record are lost. If the byte is zero, then monitoring was continuous between the last record and this one.

The next 22 bytes are the RMS Gain Factors. Following is the order of these factors:

6.9: Digital Input Log Format

Digital Input Log Format: The Digital Input Log stores records in order to document the transitions of Internal and External Digital Inputs.

Record Format: A Record contains 16 Bytes.

The first eight bytes in each record is the Time Stamp, representing the time of the event the record is recording. The format of the Time Stamp is:
