-- LoadESPRIT XOP LoadESPRIT is an external operation that loads JEOL Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) Spectrophotometer data into Igor waves. Such data is made by "ESPRIT" data station, that files are so called "ESPRIT" data files. Because ESPRIT data station is UNIX based workstation, it will be needed to use their files on Macintosh that apropriate data conversion. Most easiest way to do is to transfer such files through network. To avoid lacking any characters and to transfer more than two files together, it will be suitable to use tar and compress. Such operations are esprit> tar cvf hoge.tar foo1 foo2..... esprit> compress hoge.tar on Macintosh side, there are several tools for decompressing "compress"ed and "tar" files. LoadESPRIT is adds the following to Igor: A menu item, "Load ESPRIT DATA..." in the Load Waves submenu Two command line operations, "LoadESPRIT" and "ESPRITInfo" "LoadESPRIT" command allow you to asscess most types of files. However, on a certain definite position, the files to be loaded must contain the keyword ESPRIT. LoadESPRIT detect whether it is the ESPRIT data file or not as reading this keyword.
