data pts represent 6-second bins. Each data pt is 1 byte. There are 3 channels of data pts.
   −
For the food cup channel, the data pt contains number of seconds the infrared beam was broken per bin (range: 0-6)
+
For the food cup channel, the data pt a byte ranging from 0 to 63 (x3F), should be scaled to number of seconds the infrared beam was broken per bin (range: 0-6): byte value / 63 * 6 = number of seconds.
   −
For the 2 bottle channels, the data pt contains the number of beam breaks (licks) per bin (range: 0 - ~40)
+
For the 2 bottle channels, the data pt contains the number of beam breaks (licks) per bin (range: 0 - ~40); the byte value does not require scaling (i.e. byte value = number of licks/bin).
    
The arrays of data pts for each  data channel appear consecutively in the data file
