Loading and Viewing Raw Data

Loading Raw Data

Data sets stored in the application’s native format can be opened using the Dataset→Open... menu item. Note that the native format is actually a zarr directory tree, and not an individual file. These data directories can be identified by the .tr.zarr suffix to their names.

Data stored in other formats can be imported using the Dataset→Import→Raw Data... menu item. Currently, comma-separated values (.csv) files and the proprietary .ufs format from Ultrafast Systems are supported. Multiple files may be loaded at once which represent multiple scans of the same sample for averaging.

For .csv formatted files, the first row should contain the time axis labels, and the first column should contain the wavelength axis labels.

Example .ufs files are available on the web here.
