Description
Hello！
When attempting to read NIRx data recorded with NIRStar version 15.1, mne.io.read_raw_nirx() raises a runtime error:
RuntimeError: MNE does not support this NIRStar version ("15.1")
After inspection of the source code, the following code appears to be unsupported only for version 15.1
if hdr["GeneralInfo"]["NIRStar"] not in ['"15.0"', '"15.2"', '"15.3"']:
raise RuntimeError(
"MNE does not support this NIRStar version"
f" ({hdr['GeneralInfo']['NIRStar']})"
)
Want to know why and how to read data saved with NIRStar version 15.1
thx

Start at mne.io.read_raw_nirx() and inspect the NIRStar version check shown in the issue. Compare NIRStar 15.1 headers with the supported versions and validate the reader against 15.1 data; done means that data loads without the unsupported-version error while existing supported versions continue to work.
