D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

If you are searching for a particular term or definition, please contact us and our engineers will be glad to explain it to you.
In an ordinary case device software (built-in or external) saves data the way they are represented inside of the program. File represents just binary data array of indefinite format. Usually such files get a name with ".bin" extension.
BIN format is effective, requires minimum program capabilities for data saving and loading but at the same time it’s not universal. You won’t be able to use data with any other application because the data meaning and location is “known” by the parent program only.
To avoid this problem some programs have a function to convert binary data files into some universal format.
