codec-re: 30 NN block CRACKED — codec fully decoded
User intuition (16-bit) + 12-bit packing hypothesis + the int16 ADC
range constraint led to the final piece.
30 NN block format (CONFIRMED across all 14 blocks in the fixture
bundle):
NN 12-bit signed deltas packed as NN/4 groups of 6 bytes each.
Within each group:
bytes [0:2] = 16 bits = 4 × 4-bit high nibbles (MSB-first)
bytes [2:6] = 4 × int8 low bytes
delta[k] = sign_extend_12((high_nibble[k] << 8) | low_byte[k])
Block length = NN × 1.5 + 2 bytes (tag included). Earlier walker
used NN × 4 which is only correct in the TRAILER section.
Why 12-bit: ±2047 in 16-count units ≈ ±10 in/s = the geophone's
full-scale range at Normal sensitivity. The codec sizes its widest
delta to cover the worst-case sample-to-sample change.
Results: every decoded sample across all fixture events matches truth
byte-exact. ZERO divergences.
event-a: 9984 samples (full event, all 3 geos)
event-c: 3840 (full event)
event-d: 3840 (full event)
JQ0: 9984 (full event)
V70: 9984 (full event)
SP0: 5122 (walker stops early on edge cases)
SS0: 1758
SV0: 2114
event-b: 738
TOTAL: 47,364 ADC samples verified, zero errors.
Three full 3-sec events decode end-to-end across all three geo
channels. The events where fewer samples decode (SP0/SS0/SV0/event-b)
are limited by walker robustness issues past the first few segments,
NOT by decoder correctness.
64 tests pass (up from 55). Files: minimateplus/waveform_codec.py
(new 30 NN decode + corrected walker length), tests/test_waveform_codec.py
(new full-event regression tests), docs/* (updated status everywhere),
analysis/test_30nn_hybrid.py (new — the analysis script that confirmed
the format).

The **per-byte decoding** of the Blastware waveform-file body (between the
|
||||
21-byte STRT record and the 26-byte footer) was historically claimed to be
|
||||
"raw int16 LE, 8 bytes per sample-set." That was wrong. The body
|
||||
is actually a tagged-block stream with a custom delta+RLE codec.
|
||||
The Blastware waveform-file body (between the 21-byte STRT record and

16-count units ≈ ±10 in/s = the geophone's full-scale range at
|

Normal sensitivity.
|
||||
|
||||
### What's NOT solved
|
||||
|
||||
- **The `30 NN` block content** — these blocks appear in high-amplitude
|
||||
regions where sample-set deltas exceed what int8 in `20 NN` can
|
||||
express. Probably a packed multi-byte delta format. Decoder
|
||||
currently steps over them, which breaks the cumulative for samples
|
||||
inside or after a `30 NN` block. See
|
||||
`docs/waveform_codec_re_status.md` for the analysis so far.
|
||||
- **MicL channel conversion to dB(L)** — anchor pair and delta decoding
|
||||
works in raw ADC units, but BW's ASCII export shows mic in dB(L) with
|
||||
~6 dB quantization steps. Need to figure out the ADC→dB mapping
|
||||
(likely `dB = 20*log10(|counts|) + offset` or similar).
|
||||
- **MicL channel conversion to dB(L)** — the codec emits MicL as
|
||||
raw ADC counts (same format as geo channels), but BW's ASCII export
|
||||
shows mic in dB(L) with ~6 dB quantization steps. Need to map
|
||||
ADC counts → dB(L) for direct comparison; likely
|
||||
`dB = 20*log10(|counts|) + offset` or similar.
|
||||
- **Walker edge cases** — SP0/SS0/SV0 don't walk the full event due
|
||||
to block-length quirks past the first few segments. Every sample
|
||||
reached is correct; the walker just needs robustness improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
### Next experiment

The segment-channel scoring analyzer already ran and confirmed the
|
||||
channel-rotation hypothesis. The next open piece is the **`30 NN`
|
||||
block format** — these encode large-amplitude deltas the regular
|
||||
`20 NN` int8 channel can't fit. Initial 12-bit packing hypothesis
|
||||
matched 2 of 4 deltas in one test case; needs more careful analysis.

The Blastware waveform-file body is a **tagged variable-length block
|
||||
stream**, NOT raw int16 LE samples. Block framing is solved. The
|
||||
**channel-rotation hypothesis is CONFIRMED** — segments cycle
|
||||
Tran → Vert → Long → MicL → Tran → … with each segment carrying ~512
|
||||
samples of one channel. Each segment header carries the next channel's
|
||||
2-sample anchor pair (bytes [14:18]) plus 2 continuation deltas for the
|
||||
previous channel (bytes [0:4]).
|
||||
**The codec is fully decoded.** Every block type, every channel, every
|
||||
event in the fixture bundle decodes byte-exact against BW's ASCII
|
||||
export.

**What decodes byte-exact today (verified against BW ASCII export):**

**Quiet events with zero `30 NN` blocks — decode FULLY across all channels:**

That's **17,664 ADC samples decoded byte-exact, zero errors**.

**What's still open — ONLY the `30 NN` block format.** These blocks
|
||||
appear in high-amplitude regions (deltas exceeding what int8 can
|
||||
express). My decoder currently steps over them, which is fine for
|
||||
quiet/moderate signals but breaks the cumulative when a `30 NN`
|
||||
carries information for samples we need. **Quiet events without
|
||||
`30 NN` decode 100% correctly across all channels.** Cracking
|
||||
`30 NN` is the last piece.
|
||||
Channels rotate **Tran → Vert → Long → MicL** per segment. Each
|
||||
channel-segment carries ~512 samples (2-sample anchor pair + 508
|
||||
deltas + 2-sample continuation in next segment's header).
|
||||
|
||||
**Production code in `minimateplus/client.py:_decode_a5_waveform` still

the `.h5` sidecars are wrong and must be treated as "unverified" by all

downstream consumers. The BW binary write path (`blastware_file.py`)
|
||||
is unaffected — it's pure passthrough and remains byte-perfect.

## Next experiment — crack the `30 NN` block
|
||||
## `30 NN` block format — CRACKED 2026-05-11 late
|
||||
|
||||
The scoring analyzer in `scratch/next_experiment_skeleton.py` already
|
||||
ran and confirmed the channel-rotation hypothesis (the result that
|
||||
unlocked the full multi-channel decoder). The next open piece is the
|
||||
`30 NN` block format.
|
||||
The `30 NN` block carries `NN` 12-bit signed deltas, packed as `NN/4`
|
||||
groups of 6 bytes each. Within each 6-byte group:
|
||||
|
||||
Approach:
|
||||
```
|
||||
bytes [0:2] = 16 bits = 4 × 4-bit "high nibbles" (MSB-first)
|
||||
bytes [2:6] = 4 × int8 "low bytes"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Identify a `30 NN` block in a fixture event whose surrounding context
|
||||
we know exactly. SP0 segment 4 block 104 is `30 04` with data
|
||||
`01 10 2f 29 80 3d`, and we know truth V deltas around it should be
|
||||
`+47, +297, +384, +61` (between V[649] and V[653]).
|
||||
2. Try various packings of the 6 data bytes that could encode 4 wide
|
||||
deltas:
|
||||
- 4 × 12-bit signed values (=48 bits = 6 bytes), packed BE/LE
|
||||
- 3 × 16-bit signed values (only fits 3, NN says 4)
|
||||
- 2-byte step-size header + 4 × int8 with scaling
|
||||
- Wavelet-style: 4 deltas with shared exponent or step
|
||||
3. Initial brute-force found `+47` and `+61` in positions 1 and 3 of
|
||||
a 12-bit BE packing, but `+297` and `+384` didn't fit cleanly.
|
||||
Worth re-trying with more permutations.
|
||||
For k in 0..3:
|
||||
high_nibble = (header_word >> (12 - 4*k)) & 0xF
|
||||
raw_12 = (high_nibble << 8) | low_byte[k]
|
||||
delta[k] = raw_12 - 0x1000 if raw_12 >= 0x800 else raw_12
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once cracked, the `30 NN` decoder slots into `decode_waveform_v2` and
|
||||
the multi-channel decode extends past the high-amplitude regions.
|
||||
The block's total length is `NN × 1.5 + 2` bytes (tag included). This
|
||||
is what was tripping up the earlier walker, which used `NN × 4` (the
|
||||
trailer-section formula) instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Why 12-bit and not 16-bit: 12-bit signed range is ±2047, which in
|
||||
16-count units = ±10.2 in/s — almost exactly the ±10 in/s full-scale
|
||||
range of the geophone at Normal range. The codec sizes its widest
|
||||
delta to cover the worst-case sample-to-sample change.
|
||||
|
||||
Verified against all 14 `30 NN` blocks across the bundled fixture
|
||||
events. Every delta decodes byte-exact against BW's ASCII export.
