The basic data set for interrogation data is very simple, consisting of a location, a PIT tag code, a timestamp and transceiver/antenna IDs for the equipment that detected the PIT tag. The files that report these data also include other pieces of metadata, which vary across the data file formats. See the File Specification section for each format (Minimon, M4, and M5) for more information.
