Hi Stuart - sorry for the delay (due to me not being subscribed properly
to the mailing list. Duh.)

Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't: say you're only interested in
the data from two sensors, but the log file contains the data from
twenty sensors; in that case you can make the read() method more
efficient by discarding the other 18 values, so there are then 2
columns, and 20 channels. Hmm, I just noticed how these names are
confusing - I couldn't think of any better at the time..

Of course - looking forward to it!

Best,
