Hi Guys, I noticed that the Varian file format has a bit in the status code (a short value in the 32 byte header) which indicates wether spectra data are Float or Integer . However, I'm concerned this may not always be "set" .... i.e. I'm concerned that in some instances, this bit is ignored.

I'm wondering if there is any more reliable way to guess wether the numerical content in a spectrum is floating point or integer.......

Please let me know ! Thanks!
