With 8-bit Waveform Data and a single channel there may be an odd number of samples; see PS3.5 for encoding rules.
For channels encoding the patient's rotation and elevation, angles are stored in Waveform data (5400,1010). Units of measure (Channel Sensitivity Units (003A,0211) ) shall be degrees. Both angles having the value 0° is body position supine. Table A.34.17-3 shows the angle values of selected body positions.
