Extracting data from Akta Unicorn start files #24

Hey there, this is an awesome idea. I wonder, would it be possible to adapt this script to also deal with files from the Akta start systems? It seems like they use an external file named results.idx as log for data naming. best, Silas

Hey Silas, can you share an example file from the Akta Start system. Best, Nikolay

Hey Nikolay, here is a zip with a results.idx and touch1.res. The results.idx references multiple results (.res) but the result05 should be the one contained in touch1.res. Hope this makes sense, otherwise let me know.

Hey Silas, Thanks for the files. I am afraid that the idx file does not contain any results. It is only 1 kb in size and simply contains information about files but no data. Can you check again? Best, Nikolay -- Nikolay Dobrev

Hey Nikolay, this is the output from the AKTA instruments, i suspected the results.idx is only a list of the data files. There is also a .res file with a corresponding data file, can you use that? Best, Silas

Hey, I had overlooked this issue before. I've just had a look at the Touch1.RES file, and it's an entirely different encoding compared to the UNICORN .RES files. Getting a decoding is going to take time. Is that file the only way to export data from an ÄKTA Start? Can you do a "database export"?
