Sometimes you cannot import a SION file into python, e.g. because of a bug in the reader. To help you diagnose the issue and get at the LinkTest data we now provide pattern files in the folder `ImHex_Patterns` for the [ImHex hex editor](https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex).
To use one of the patterns open the SION file in ImHex by clicking on `File`->`Open File`, selecting the file and clicking on `Open`. Once the file has been opened the pattern needs to be opened, this is done by clicking on `File`->`Load Pattern`->`Browse ...` and browsing to the LinkTest install location, followed by opening the folder and ImHex_Patterns and opening the correct one for the version of LinkTest the SION file is from. If unsure of the version try one of the patterns and see if it works. After loading the pattern it should automatically run and colour code the binary data in the binary view. If it did not you can click on the play button in the bottom right. Your screen should now show you a colour-coded SION file similar to the following:
You can then find the identified information inside the *Pattern Data* in the bottom left corner. Entries with a black triangle next to them can be clicked on to ungroup then and see the entries. This way you can explore the data. Inside `LinkTest_Header` you will find the configuration for the LinkTest run. Inside `Data` you fill find the Data for each rank.
