Installation:

Copy the "Igor Procedures" folder to:

• Mac OS X: /Users/<user>/Documents/WaveMetrics/Igor Pro 6 User Files/
• Windows: <My Documents>\WaveMetrics\Igor Pro 6 User Files\

Howto:

There are several ways to use the file loader:

• Use the multi file loader (macro menu) to change the flags and load multiple files at once
• Call the procedures (<name>_load_data()) directly through the command window without parsing a parameter to load a single file
• Call the procedures and parse an optional file ref (<name>_load_data(optfile=<fileref>))
• Use the auto detection of the file type via the multi loader

Configuration:

In order to change the behaviour of the import tool change the settings (importflags) in import_loader.ipf or use the multi-loader GUI.

Requirements:

The following routines depend on ZIP.XOP (http://www.igorexchange.com/project/ZIP) in order to fully work:

• Createc *.dat (only v2Z)
