"""**UnifyMB**

UnifyMB is the first of three sub-programs that make up CrystalMB, a LIMS system that takes data directly from
instrument output files (in .csv or .xml format), converts them into a unified excel format for editing, pushes the
edited data into a SQL server database, and then draws on that database to make reports using CystalReports.

UnifyMB is the sub-program that converts a variety of different data formats into one unified excel format, that can
also be saved as a .csv file or a .xml file, with field names in the 'A' row, and one analyte concentration per row,
with (n) rows per sample where (n) = the amount of analytes in the particular method being converted.

**How to Use**

- Export data you want to unify from a Waters Instrument, or an Agilent ICP/MS instrument.
    - note: the instruments are currently (22June21) set up to produce data that works with the methods in this program.
    - documentation on what those settings should be for each instrument will be produced at a later date (22June21)

- Put data in the CSVFilesToUnify directory in the overall project folder (CrystalMB)

- Run Unify.TK, select data file to convert. If converted successfully, the file will be in UnifiedExcelFiles.
