No, piezo profiles do not have a profile definition (.qidf) file. They are
just .quad files hence you can't edit them with QTR.
Jon creates them from his own profiling tool which spits out a .quad file
directly.

What I do is take Jon's piezo .quad and relinearize it using target
measurements and an excel worksheet I created.
