Convert STDF to CSV

Understanding STDF and CSV file formats

STDF (Standard Test Data Format) is a binary file format used primarily in the semiconductor industry for storing test data. It is designed to efficiently store large volumes of data generated during the testing of semiconductor devices. The format is compact and optimized for performance, making it ideal for handling complex test data.

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain text file format that is widely used for storing tabular data. Each line in a CSV file represents a data record, and each record consists of one or more fields separated by commas. CSV files are easy to read and write, making them a popular choice for data exchange between different applications.
