Agilent .uv file structure

[rnelsonchem]

Not really an issue... Where did you find the structure of the ".uv" Agilent files? I have one that doesn't seem to be working with Aston, and I'd like to compare with the documented structure. Thanks

I'm not aware of any spec for those files; I looked over the files in a hex editor and tried to pick out patterns. It's been a long time since I've looked at this, but I did write out two different readers for those files (I've seen at least two different versions depending on the first two bytes in the file):

• https://github.com/bovee/Aston/blob/master/aston/tracefile/agilent_uv.py#L255
• https://github.com/bovee/Aston/blob/master/aston/tracefile/agilent_uv.py#L334

It's entirely possible that there's a third kind of ".uv" file now or that I hadn't seen a variant of one of the two. I'm a little low on bandwidth and Aston needs a little work anyhow, but I'm happy to take a look at your file sometime over the next week and see if there isn't a quick fix: rbovee@gmail.com
