The date and time of the plate read should be extracted from the PDA files

So, far the data and time of the read couldn't be found by reverse engineering the PDA file format.

The numbers of the day, month and year aren't found in the files, so the date and time have to be stored as a timestamp or a serialisation of a DateTime object (probably specific to the language in which Softmax Pro is implemented).

In any case, further research should be done in order to locate and understand how the date and time of read in stored in the PDA file, and extract it as metadata.
