The files within the ZIP archive are in CSV format and can be readily accessed by Microsoft Excel, MATLAB, and many other programs. CSV files were recorded by the CyUI software from Cytosurge AG (Glattbrug, Switzerland).
"spec.fwd.csv" and "spec.bwd.csv" files refer to the approach or retraction phases of the force spectroscopy measurements, respectively. Only the "spec.fwd.csv" (approach) files were used in the data analysis. Cantilever spring constants, deflection sensitivities, and sampling frequencies are specified in the header of the csv files. The initial cantilever-substrate separation was 10 micron for the C. muris and 5.0-5.3 micron for the C. parvum measurements
