Dear David
Thanks a lot for your help
I've already tried to print data as you said but if I read these
numbers using " DC_READ_FREE" :

37374.000200
37374.000400
37374.000600
37374.000800
37374.001000
37374.001200
37374.001400
37374.001600
37374.001800
37374.002000

The result I get is:

WAVE> Print, x , Format='(D20.6)'
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.000000
37374.003906

Why????
