One Debrief user organisation frequently has to use exported Debrief tracks in a subsequent analysis application (SAM). This application requires tab-separated columns of data using a flat-earth measurements in imperial units. The data is formatted as specified below. Note that records are only included for times for which there is sensor datums - which may be a shorter time period than that which the user specified.
