PD Data Parser
===============
Alan Stummer Nov 2011


This windows program takes two data files from the scope connected to the X-Ray PD mux and parses them into a single .csv file.  It is written in VB6.

To install, unzip the install file and run the setup program.

To run, start the program, obviously.  Drag and drop the first channel data file onto the top file slot and the second file nto the second slot.

Set the marker threshold to a negative value, somewhere between the noise around zero and the marker height.  For example, if the marker value is approx -0.5 and quite steady then set the threshold at about -0.3.

The data sample number is which data sample to use when there are many.  A setting of 1 will mean the very first value will be the one used.  However, the first few samples may be settling in but later values are steady.  For example, if there are 10 samples for every value (if the 'scope is set to 0.1uS sample rate), then set data sample number to 5 or 6, to ignore the early and late samples.

When both files are dropped in, hit Start.  The data will be shown live in a chart and saved in a file.  The file is in the common .csv (comma separated values) format.  It will be in the same directory as the channel A file.
