The files I need to read (and ultimately write) are custom format files that come from a data acquisition system that has been designed and built in our institute. The files consist of a 1024 byte header followed by a stream of 16 bit integers. Total files size may run from several hundred kilobytes to 1 or 2 gigabytes.

Given that the files will be the data spewed by the DAQ system, it is unlikely that your application will need to write said files? That is, the files containing the acquired data will be treated more like something you import into your application and less like a true document?


Given my assumption, then I would recommend sticking with a document based application where each document is effectively a data analysis "session". That is, an individual document may contain configuration information or, even, data that has been imported. Then, add an "import" menu item (or support drag and drop) such that your app can import or accept the raw data files sourced from the DAQ system.
