Remarks
1) Limited amount of rows A GEF file has no hard limit on the number of scans, other than less than 2 billion (=231). An Excel file is limited to 65000 rows (=216). Those scans within the GEF file, with a number exceeding 65000, are not saved into the spreadsheet. If your file is longer than 65000 scans, you are advised either to delete scans or skip scans. The program zoomsave will enable you to visually select a specific range of scans. To skip scans, e.g. keep only the scans with an odd number, or a number which is a multiple of 10, choose the program skipscan.
