 The first non-comment line is the **record line**, which provides metadata about the overall record. It includes:
 
 | Field | Description |
-|:------|:------------|

 | Record name | Identifier for the record (letters, digits, underscores only). |
 | Number of segments (optional) | If present, appended as `/n`. Indicates a multi-segment record. |
 | Number of signals | Number of signals described in the header. |
 | Sampling frequency (optional) | Samples per second per signal. Defaults to 250 if omitted. |
 | Counter frequency (optional) | Secondary clock frequency, separated from sampling frequency by a `/`. |
 | Base counter value (optional) | Offset value for counter, enclosed in parentheses. |
-| Number of samples (optional) | Total samples per signal. |

 | Base time (optional) | Start time of the recording (`HH:MM:SS`). |
 | Base date (optional) | Start date (`DD/MM/YYYY`). |
