The RSP Match headers for acceleration files (*.acc) consist always of 2 lines.
Line 1: all RSP Match records should start with “Time history matched to spectrum:” followed by anything useful for the user. Usually, it is the name of the file.
Line 2: provides number of acceleration points followed by the time step followed by some additional values.
Example: “1706 0.0200 656”
Each file contains one time series. The data is to be read horizontally, line by line. 5 columns should be available. The data is fully processed for engineering applications so the user has nothing to do but to read it. All the components for a given event and station are aligned in time (no need for a start time) and have the same number of points and duration.
