The IgorR package for R provides routines to read binary files generated byIgor Pro.

This includes both the standalone .ibw Igor Binary Wave format (v2 and the latest v5) and the .pxp Packed Experiment Format including both waves and variables. In addition the package provides functions to read files generated by theNeuromatic analysis suite written by Jason Rothman for Igor Pro.

NB IgorR is off CRAN due to an unfixed bug with windows text on tecent versions of R. Whenever it is back there you can install the release version fromCRAN

install.packages('IgorR')

To install the latest development version from github

# install remotes package if requiredif(!require('remotes')) install.packages('remotes')remotes::install_github('jefferis/IgorR')

To checkout a version that can be used for development(RStudio is strongly recommended),in your terminal application.

cd /some/suitable/dirgit clone https://github.com/jefferis/IgorR.git

In R

install.packages('devtools')# install hadley's devtoolslibrary(devtools)load_all('/some/suitable/dir/IgorR')test()#hackload_all()# ready for releasecheck()build_win()# test for Windowsrelease()

Details of the ibw file format were derived from theIgor Technical Note 003.

For those interested in the source code,ReadIgorBinary.R provides code for standard pxp and ibw files, whileReadNclamp.R provides routines to read packed experiment files generated by the Nclamp data acquisition package.
