Load data from the Bruker PDZ binary file format. Tested with data from a Bruker Tracer 5i handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument. This file format isn't documented anywhere online (or in the Bruker manuals), as far as I can tell. I know that different versions of the device have different file formats, but I have never seen data from other versions of the device.
The intensity (count) data is loaded along with the wavelength/energy axis. The x axis is formatted as keV (kiloelectron Volts), and the y axis is in counts. Various other data is included in the FileInfo structure.
