Can we have the brand / name of the instrument and the name of the software ?

Also the exportation procedure so that we can document this in the help of the TGA page.

There are already 2 text file parser so we need to be quite specific

kjappelbaum commented 4 years ago

this file is in a weird windows encoding "Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text, with CRLF line terminators". For the tests I now used iconv but we should figure out if the files are always like this

lpatiny commented 4 years ago

You are speaking about the file that in the ticket ?

Because I did an hexdump and this is not UTF-16 seems to me

Or you have another example.

kjappelbaum commented 4 years ago

Yes, I'm speaking about this file which in my case also shows the ff fe BOM for UTF-16LE. This is why I posted here the note to double check if this is always saved like this. But I'll take care of figuring this out.

You do not need iconv for this encoding. It's supported by Node.js: https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buffers_and_character_encodings
