Appendix D - EULUMDAT data interchange format
of: Zumtobel Licht's COPHOS Development Team, http://www.cophos.co.at
Synopsis: Proposal for a data format for exchange of luminaire data (interior, exterior, and/or road lighting luminaries) under the operating systems ms-dos 2.xx/3.xx under condition of unequivocal coordination between luminaire and data set...
NOTE: Each of the following fields is an ASCII string that is terminated with an MS-DOS 'CR+LF' pair.

2Ityp = Type indicator:
1 ... point source with symmetry about the vert.axis
2 ... linear luminaire
3 ... point source with any other symmetry (only linear luminaries, Ityp = 2, are being subdivided in longitudinal and transverse directions)
