What is an OIT file?

OIT files mostly belong to SleepScan and Ceegraph by Bio-logic Systems Corp. This file is used by the clinical diagnostic software programs SleepScan and Ceegraph keep track of the EEG recording. It stores time markings that correlate "packets" of data stored in the EEG file to the time it was recorded in both time-of-day and elapsed-time-in-recording format. This is necessarry because the EEG file is usually compressed, and can sometimes corrupt, so to rebuild it you need to know what data you have, and the times it fills in.
