| Title: | Imports Log Files from Angstrom Engineering Thermal Evaporator |
|---|---|
| Description: | Opens and imports log files from Angstrom Engineering Thermal Evaporator and extracts basic characteristics, such as base pressure, time of the evaporation. It can visualize the deposition observables for review. |

Imports data from the CSV log file of an Angstrom Engineering Thermal Evaporator. It extracts information during the deposition; i.e. while the shutter is open. It returns a condensed version of the deposition parameters.

list with information during the deposition that includes the thickness, the deposition time in seconds, the starting date, the substrate heater temperature, the material deposition temperature, tooling factor, base pressure, the pressure at start of the deposition, maximum pressure, and the material name
