 There is a similar function which takes two filenames and allows you to load the structure of SynFireChains into the WeightMonitor.

 ===== Output format =====
-The WEightMonitor writes column formatted ASCII files with floating point values that can be read by most plotting tools which can process CSV and Python (numpy) or MATLAB. Per convention the first column holds the simulation time in seconds and the consecutive columns are the corresponding weight values in the order as they have been added to the list. This is shown in the example below (where there was no plasticity which is why the values do not change).
