Procedural browse experiment / loading from multiple .pxt files

Hello,

I have a lot of data that has been saved as individual scans each within their own .pxt file. I can use 'Browse expt' in the data browser and can take individual scans across into a single .pxp igor file. To do this each time would be quite tedious - is there a procedural way (in the literal sense, of making a file loader procedure) to collect the data into a single .pxp, or a procedural way to load multiple .pxt files from an operating systems file tree?

I am comfortable writing short procedures for various things within igor but have never tried loading this type of data before.

Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.

I think you are looking for the LoadData operation.

It might be better to use wave files (.ibw) for this. Execute:

for details.
