In a production environment, other days' experiments and calibration
data goes into other YYYYMMDD-stamped subdirectories of unfold/ and
calibrate_cantilever/, so we retain that directory structure here.

+bought by Veeco in 1998. Veeco sold its metrology wing (including the
+MultiMode line) to Bruker in 2010.
