InstrumentConcatenate

This program concatenate the arcs from several instrument files and write it to a new file. Input files must be of the same type. The arcs are merged to one arc even though there is a gap inbetween. To split the data into arcs use InstrumentSynchronize. Three options are available: sort, removeDuplicates and checkForNaNs. If sort is enabled, the program reads all files, no matter if they are sorted correctly in time, and then sorts the epochs. If removeDuplicates is enabled, the program checks the whole data set for epochs that are contained twice. And if checkForNaNs is enabled the data set is checked for invalid epochs containing NaNs.
