It is recommended that such flags, or switches not be or used in an SAE standard rainflow file if possiblebecause they can mislead an inexperienced user. It is preferable that the data should be adjusted by thesupplier program to reduce the reliance on sw

Numbers are to be read (and theref

16、ore can be written) in “free format”, i.e.: separated byone or more blanks. Note that blank lines are allowed amongst the data lines. In normal practice the SIGNALvalues will be read by computers into REAL (Floating Point) storage locations. CYCLES are generallyexpected to be INTEGERS, but some rain

17、flow counting methods create fractional cycles, and in consequencegive a cycle count such as “1050.5” for example. Thus the cycle numbers should be read as REAL*8 orDOUBLE PRECISION. The write format can be REAL OR INTEGER depending on the algorithm used tocount the cycles. See Table A1:TABLE A1DATA
