Hmm, the -3185.59 doesn't look right. The data is _supposed_ to be:

1st double:  Time value, monotonically increasing, usually starting near 0.00000
2nd double: Sensor value, oscillating waveform, centered about some arbitrary 
value

So I'm expecting data like:

0.011   0.57525634765625
0.012   0.45166015625000
0.013   0.29907226562500
0.014   0.13275146484375
0.015   -0.03173828125000
0.016   -0.18218994140625
0.017  -0.29602050781250
0.018   -0.38055419921875
...etc.

or even:

0.018    2089.66467285156250
0.020    2087.57525634765625
0.022    2085.45166015625000
0.024    2083.29907226562500
0.026    2082.13275146484375
0.028    2081.03173828125000
0.030    2080.18218994140625
0.032    2080.29602050781250
0.034    2079.38055419921875
0.036    2079.43060302734375
0.038    2078.44738769531250
0.040    2076.43640136718750
...etc

When I manually swap the bytes in my program, I still end up with invalid 
values.
