UFF Data Set Number 58

This is the Universal File Format data set used for importing/exporting the data of a transducer sitting in a specific node and pointing in a specific direction. In the case of ARTeMIS Extractor it is the raw time series of a transducer. For more information see e.g. WEB-site of the Structural Dynamics Research Laboratory at University of Cincinnati, Ohio.
