.SH NAME
ESPS Sampled Data File \- (.sd)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <sps/header.h>
.br
.B #include <sps/sd.h>
.SH DESCRIPTION
A sampled data file is a header followed by a stream of data 
values.    The type of the data values that follow the header 
is indicated in the header.   See \fIESPS\fR(5\-ESPS).
.PP
The header has the following layout as defined by 
.I <sps/header.h>.
The data items common to all ESPS data files are described in
\fIESPS\fR(5\-ESPS).   The type specific header structure for a sampled 
data file is shown below.

.PP
The following items are all in the sampled data file specific
header structure.
.IP equip
Equipment used to capture analog data.  If NONE, it means that the
data did not originate from an A/D.
Legal values for are defined in \fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP max_value
If the data is from an A/D \fImax_value\fR is the maximum value that
can be represented by the A/D used (this is a function of the
bit resolution of the converter and perhaps its operating mode).   
If this SD file was produced by a synthesis program and
\fImax_value\fR is non-zero, then no sample in the
file will exceed the value of \fImax_value\fR.   If \fImax_value\fR is
zero, then no information is available about the maximum value in the file.
.IP sf
Sampling frequency of this sampled data file.
.IP src_sf
Sampling frequency of the reference file (\fIcommon.refer\fR).  
If zero, it means that there is no reference file.   
.IP synt_method
Indicates which method of synthesis was used in generating the file.
If neither this SD file or any of its source files were produced by a
synthesis program, \fIsynt_method\fR has a value of NONE.
Other legal values are defined in \fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP scale
A nonzero value here is a scale factor used by the program that
created this sampled data file.    A zero means no scale factor was
used; therefore zero here is equivalent to one and it is not possible
to have a zero scale factor.
.IP dcrem
If nonzero, the DC term in the original source data was removed before
analysis, and that DC value is stored here.
.IP q_method
The type of scaler quantization.  A value of NONE indicates no quantization.
Legal values are defined in \fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP v_excit_method
If the SD file or any of its source files were produced by a synthesis
program, \fIv_excit_method\fR indicates what excitation method was used
for voiced speech.
Legal values are defined in \fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP uv_excit_method
If the SD file or any of its source files were produced by a synthesis
program, \fuv_excit_method\fR indicates what excitation method was
used for unvoiced speech.
Legal values for are defined in \fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP nchan
Number of A/D channels (for multiplexed files).  Zero or one indicates
that all sample points are from the same A/D.   A value other than
zero or one indicates that a sampled data file consists of \fInchan\fR
channels. In such a file the data points cycle sequentially among the A/D
channels.
.IP synt_interp
If the SD file or any of its source files were produced by a synthesis
program, \fIsynt_interp\fR indicates what method was used for interpolation
reflection coefficients.  Legal values are defined in
\fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP synt_pwr
If the SD file or any of its source files were produced by a synthesis
program, \fIsynt_pwr\fR indicates the method that was used for
choosing excitation power.  Legal values are defined in
\fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP synt_rc
If the SD file or any of its source files were produced by a synthesis
program \fIsynt_rc\fR indicates the method that was used for selecting
the reflection coefficients.  Legal values are defined in
\fI<sps/header.h>\fR.
.IP synt_order
If the order of the synthesis filter was different from that of the
analysis filter, \fIsynt_order\fR is the synthesis order.   If the
synthesis order is the same as the analysis order, or if the SD file
is not a synthetic file, the value of synt_order is zero.
.IP prefilter
Pointer to a prefilter function.
The function is described by the \fIstruct zfunc\fR in
\fI<sps/header.h>\fR.  It
consists of the numerator size, followed by the denominator size,
followed by the zero polynomial, followed by the pole polynomial.
.IP de_emp
Pointer to a deemphasis filter function.
.PP
The data structure is simply a series of sample data.
There are \fIcommon.ndrec\fR of these one item records.
The type of the data is indicated by the header items \fIcommon.ndouble,
common.nfloat, common.nlong, common.nshort, or common.nchar\fR
(see \fIESPS\fR(5\-ESPS)).  Since a sampled data file
has one item records, one of these type fields in the header
should have a value of one, and all the others should have a value of
zero.  There is a library function provided to set these type fields,
see \fIset_sd_type\fR(3\-ESPS).
