Caveats

The Andor Solis Neo spool file format has changed at least three times. This spool reader is known to work for the 2011-2012 versions (I don’t have exact version numbers, but could find out if you need).

For 2008-Spring 2011 spool files, see the andor_neo_spool directory in this repo.

Experiments:
