# obspy.io.ascii.core

Simple ASCII time series formats

- `SLIST`, a ASCII time series format represented with a header line followed by a sample lists (see also `SLIST format description`):

      TIMESERIES BW_RJOB__EHZ_D, 6001 samples, 200 sps, 2009-08-24T00:20:03.000000, SLIST, INTEGER,
      288 300 292 285 265 287
      279 250 278 278 268 258
      ...

- `TSPAIR`, a ASCII format where data is written in time-sample pairs (see also `TSPAIR format description`):

      TIMESERIES BW_RJOB__EHZ_D, 6001 samples, 200 sps, 2009-08-24T00:20:03.000000, TSPAIR, INTEGER,
      2009-08-24T00:20:03.000000  288
      2009-08-24T00:20:03.005000  300
      2009-08-24T00:20:03.010000  292
      2009-08-24T00:20:03.015000  285
      2009-08-24T00:20:03.020000  265
