    (Includes Scope, Purpose and General Outline)

First Version of the Standard
  • The data file is composed entirely from the ASCII
    character set so that it can be easily read and
    the data extracted with any text editor if
    necessary. Each line is to be no more than 128
    characters in length.
  • The data filename extension should be SPE,
    either uppercase or lowercase, to allow for
    automated recognition and backward compatibility
    with a variety of existing analytical
    applications.
  • Data elements are listed in lines of text
    following block identifiers that consist of a
    keystring identifier, in all uppercase letters,
    preceded by the symbol.

Final Version General Description
  • Standard requires that all radiation data
    instruments shall comply with the following data
    formats
  • The data shall be rendered in an XML document in
    conformance to the W3C XML V1.0 standard. In
    this standard, an XML document is considered
    identical to an XML file and the terms will be
    used synonymously.
  • The data format is to be compatible with the
    master ANSI N42.42 schema maintained by NIST.
    ANSI N42.42 schema, found at http//physics.nist.g
