Cell cycling cannot handle biologic files containing loops, rests and PEIS data

[GES-mpalermo]

Biologic output files for experimental protocols containing loops and PEIS measurements have a different structure than typical cell cycling-only files.

In particular, the output file contains a header where the type of each operation performed in the protocol and an ID are stated.

The current implementation of the cell cycling module of GES-echem-suite does not support this kind of data organization.

A modification of the code is required to maintain compatibility with this more advanced type of output file.
