Decodes the header in a binary-format Nortek ADV/ADP file. This function is
designed to be used by read.adp()
and read.adv()
,
but can be used directly as well. The code is based on information in the
Nortek System Integrator Guide (2008) and on postings on the Nortek
``knowledge center'' discussion board. One might assume that the latter is
less authoritative than the former. For example, the inference of cell size
follows advice found at
https://www.nortekusa.com/en/knowledge-center/forum/hr-profilers/736804717,
which contains a typo in an early posting that is
corrected later on.
Information on Nortek profilers (including the System
Integrator Guide, which explains the data format byte-by-byte) is available

The Nortek Knowledge Center https://www.nortekusa.com/en/knowledge-center may be of help if problems arise in dealing with data from Nortek instruments.

Most users should employ the functions read.adp()
and
read.adv()
instead of this one.
