IGOR Pulse Height Format

Important

This format can be loaded into Python with 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

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.
