# Data from Phi VersaProbe 4 instruments
The reader supports [Phi MultiPak](https://www.phi.com/surface-analysis-equipment/genesis.html#software:multi-pak-data-reduction-software/) .spe (single spectra) and .pro (sputter profile / external parameter scan / ....) files, which is the propietary format of PHI Electronics used for their VersaProbe 4 instrumens. The Phi MultiPak software version that was used to measure this data is SS 3.3.3.2.1.
<!-- How is this data structured -->
The reader for the Phi data can be found [here](https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/pynxtools-xps/tree/main/src/pynxtools_xps/phi).
## .spe data (single spectrum):
Example data for this file format is available [here](https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/pynxtools-xps/tree/main/examples/phi).
The example conversion can be run with the following command:
```console_
user@box:~$ dataconverter SnO2_10nm.spe eln_data_phi.yaml --reader xps --nxdl NXxps --output SnO2_10nm.spe.nxs
```
### .pro data (profiling):
Example data for this file format is available [here](https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/pynxtools-xps/tree/main/examples/phi).
The example conversion can be run with the following command:
```console_
user@box:~$ dataconverter SnO2_10nm_1.pro eln_data_phi.yaml --reader xps --nxdl NXxps --output SnO2_10nm_1.pro.nxs
```
