Note:   * ASCII data format for the filter files:

channel_1     number_of_data_points
wavenumber, filter_only_transmittance,  system_without_filter,   total_system,     normalized_total_system
......
channel_2
wavenumber, filter_only_transmittance,  system_without_filter,   total_system,     normalized_total_system
......

Data users should use the wavenumber (first column) and the normalized_total_system (last column)
