# HKL= -8 -13 -34
70.000 33.21 ********
70.010 -27.69 *
70.020 13.42 ****
70.030 -6.81 *

... ... *****

74.971 4.21 **
74.981 2.28 *
74.991 -22.29 *

# HKL= -9 -13 -28
70.000 -63.67 *
70.010 -18.36 *
70.020 42.79 *******

The header consists of a # sign followed by the values for h k l of the reflection profile. A blank line signifies the end of a profile. The value pairs are angle, integrated intensity.
