Hey all, I've come here with a simple question about a databasing format I've come across. It's generated from a BRAUMAT 5.3 +sp3+hf tool called "trending" and record the analog outputs from plant machinery. The data is stored in a bunch of small (~100kb) files with the extension .s in a subdirectory called "TREND".. along with these is a related file with the extension .h which I assume is a header format or something.

I've tried opening them in every application under the sun: opening in a text editor shows a few strings here and there, and opening in a hex editor showed some kind of pattern inside but it was hard to imagine how i could use it. So far the only program that can seem to make sense of them is the clunky "trending" program that came with it! 

Please if anyone has any ideas how I can access this data's structure please let me know
