I am currently trying to do some analysis for the Research in Research project using acoustic emission. The issue I am having is that the WFS data, using several code DLL libraries to convert to text, does not give the full information when compared against the WFS file in waveviewer. In fact, quite a lot less when compared. The following programs I have are as follows “PCI2_open,” “PCI2read_header,” (these files now produce a corrupt output by all accounts), other is StreamToAscii (this is newer but produces a much more reduced text output than the actual recorded events in waveviewer) and then there is something I have carried out with natsort (I built my own code when carrying out my PhD at Nottingham) – this is working correctly and concatenates the waveform streaming (csv files) within the AEWin software – this however gives slightly more than the StreamtoAscii but nowhere near the size the waveviewer size. If possible, I would very much like some quick pointers on where I could get some better converters that either convert from WFS to txt (best scenario) or is there anything else someone could advise? With respect to the last script processing, I believe the bug is in the waveform streaming within the AEwin E5.82, and this is another problem, albeit tackled from another direction.

Any pointers or help would be most welcome.
