1.6.4 Importing a Trace in ASCII Format
You can import trace data in ASCII format. If the file you are
importing was originally exported using the Data Explorer
software, you can import a spectrum trace only into the
Spectrum window and a chromatogram trace only into the
Chromatogram window. However, if the data is from another
source, the software does not know the data type and you
must make sure to import the data into the correct window
type.
Importing a Trace
in ASCII Format
To import an ASCII trace:
1. Open a data file and activate a Chromatogram or
Spectrum window.
NOTE: You must open a data file before you can import
ASCII data, even if the data file is unrelated to the
imported data.
2. Select Add/Remove Traces from the File menu, then set
the Replace Mode by selecting one of the following:
• Replace the Active Trace
• Add a New Trace
3. From the File menu, select Import, then select ASCII
Chromatogram or ASCII Spectrum (the menu item is
context sensitive to the selected window).
An Open dialog box appears.
4. Select the ASCII file to import.
5. Click OK.
The imported trace is displayed in the active window.
