Thanks very much for the file. Yes QWS instrument definition files don't have to be in any order. The only requirements in that file are maybe the first two lines describing the overall contents. After that, anything goes, line by line.
I was thinking of reordering the FA-06 instrument def to group instrument types together, as they seem to be spread out all over the place, and you can't find anything unless you know the specific name of the instrument, or at least how it starts. Some of the instrument defs in that file don't even contain real instrument words, so you're up the creek. More on that later. On Fri, 20 Feb 2015 09:42:39 -0600, you wrote: >Okay, here it is.
