IGOR Pulse Height Format
========================



.. important:: 
   
   This format can be loaded into Python with :py:class:`skutils.Loader.EventCSVLoader`

Average Data Rate

   * - 2 Channel Events Per Second
     - 15612

_______________________________________________________________________________


The IGOR (**.itx**) data format stores pulse height data in IGOR. Channel 
waveforms are not supported in this format. Because this format only saves
pulse heights not full traces, much higher event rates can be sustained than
when recording waves.

Header
------

A comment block header indicated the serial number, globalID, and version information
at the top of the file

Example
*******

.. code-block:: igor

   IGOR
   X // Format          = "IGOR PULSE HEIGHTS"
   X // Datetime        = "UTC Time: 2025-01-21 18:38:53"
   X // GlobalID        = 0
   X // Product         = "VIREO100_REV_B"
   X // SerialNumber    = "000019"
   X // SoftwareVersion = "5.3.0"
   X // FirmwareVersion = "5.3.1"

Event Format
------------

The first column is the timestamp of the event. The following columns
represent the height of each pulse detected on the indicated channel. 
No predefined function definitions are required for this format.


Example
*******

.. code-block:: igor

   WAVES/o/D timestamp, chan0, chan1
