How to load the data with a new format *.data #87

Closed jocelyn007 closed 9 years ago

jocelyn007 commented 9 years ago

Dear Paul: I have the *.data file that were exported from a commercial software called "Shortcut to Sympho Time". When I load this file into the software, the result is not right. The format of my data looks like this: Time[s] Rate[count/ms] 0 8.9 0.01 29.3 0.02 38.4 ............ 599.989987 9.6

The change this file into "csv" format without words("time" or "rate"). I don't know what the data looks like in the CSFCS_DiO-in-DOPC.pcfs because I cannot open it.

What should I do some processing of this *.data file?

Best, Jocelyn

Hi Jocelyn, It looks like your data is trace data. You need to run your data through a multiple-tau algorithm (https://github.com/paulmueller/multipletau) in order to get a correlation curve. Hence, this issue might be connected to issue #20.

If you upload some sample files somewhere I might be able to write a plugin. Don't count on it happening in the near future though. In any case, if you manage to get it done yourself, please post your scripts here. I can then directly use it to write the plugin.

The .csv data format is described in the documentation.

Cheers, Paul

Dear Paul: You're so nice. This is the dropbox link that you can download the sample files. Two files in it: singal file and background file. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j7vv7epkefzra9y/AADf74O42WRV4sKVvPnVHxuka?dl=0

Could you please help me write a plugin?
