Studio uses a single native file format and exports to a few common ones for sharing and publishing.
Native: .stfy
A .stfy file holds one experiment plus its metadata:
parameters, instrument model and firmware, and a timestamp.
Studio autosaves to the folder shown at the top of the Method Setup panel. To open a saved file later, drag it onto the plot area or use Load in Method Setup.
Export
Use the download icon in the plot toolbar.
- Excel (.xlsx). The raw data alongside a metadata sheet, for tabular work and sharing with collaborators.
- CSV (.csv). Comma-separated columns with a metadata header. The universal text format for Python, R, Origin, and spreadsheets.
- ASCII (.txt). Tab-separated columns of the raw data, for legacy instruments or any tool that parses tabular text.
- PNG. A raster image of the current plot view.
- PDF. A vector image of the current plot view, suitable for figures.
Import from other instruments
Not yet supported. Studio currently opens only .stfy files.
Imports from common third-party formats are on the roadmap; if
you need a specific one, let us know.
