Importing the extracted ibw files from a force map (*.ARDF) not working

[tenoriomaria]

Hi,
I am working with Asulym Research AFM and PyJibe. The data I acquire are maps of force-distance curves, that are generated into a *.ARDF format. From the Asylum Research program I can extract each force-distance curve individually into *.ibw files, in order to analyze them with PyJibe afterwards. However, and opposite to what happens to 'standard' *.ibw files, which I successfully open, I cannot import the extracted force-distance curves of this force map into PyJibe. The error bellow appears. Thanks in advance!

Unhandled exception in PyJibe version 2022.01.08.post21:

Hi there, could you please attach such an .ibw file (you will probably have to zip it)? You should be able to just drag-and-drop it in.

Here you have!
Thanks a lot!

Could you tell me if a force map (*.ARDF) can be loaded? If yes, please tell me how to load the file.

Hi I have been having the same issue as tenoriomaria. Was anyone ever able to find a fix?

@tenoriomaria @nnkkdtc @vinpai327 Unfortunately, we cannot allocate sufficient developer time to deal with this issue at the moment.

You might consider checking whether you have personnel at you institute for such tasks or hire a student helper to implement support for this format.
