A simple python 3.8 routine was prepared during the development of the AIF to convert the plain text data output from 3P Instruments (formerly Quantachrome) and Microtrac Retsch (formerly BEL Japan and BEL Europe) instruments, used in many laboratories around the world. Specifically, this has been written to parse raw analysis text files exported by Quantachrome software and the raw data files (.DAT ) and CSV files exported by Belsorb software. Instrument manufacturers are encouraged to provide readable raw data files in the future. For example, it is currently not possible to read binary data files, for example, the files saved by 3P Instruments (.qps). Our routine is easily transferable and will be adapted for other instruments in the future. The source code and a stand-alone program is provided on GitHub (www.github.com/jackevansadl/adsorptioninformationfile) and can be adapted individually by instrument manufacturers. In the future, we also plan to include as routine for the transformation of files produced by Micromeritics instruments.
