1 Scope This International Standard specifies a Format to transfer data from computer to computer via parallel interfaces or via serial interfaces over direct wire, telephone line, local area network or other communications link. The transferred data is encoded only in those characters that appear on a normal display or printer. The format is suitable for AES, EDX, FABMS, ISS, SIMS, SNMS, UPS, XPS, XRF and similar analytical methods. It covers spectra, elemental maps, depth profiles and sequences of data resulting from a variety of experiments.
