description:
Converts a file in awe self-describing format to SDDS. This is of interest to
only a few users at APS, as awe format has been superseeded by SDDS and is rarely used.
example:
To convert awe format Twiss parameter data from an old version of elegant:
files:inputFile is an awe-format file, the SDDS equivalent of which is written to outputFile.
The ``auxiliary values'' of the awe file are converted into SDDS parameters. The awe tables
are converted into SDDS tabular data, all columns being double precision except the ``row label'', which
becomes a string column.
switches:
-labelColumnName=string -- Requests that the awe row label be given the name string.
By default, the row label is placed in a column named ``row-label''.
-asciiOutput -- Requests that output be in ASCII. By default, the output is binary.
