Supported File Formats

Data files have to be in ASCII format. The program doesn't set the single line length limit, which would depend on your system. For all supported file formats, you can first specify the number of lines to skip from the beginning. You can also specify the comment identifier which starts a comment line instead of data. Changing the file format is done by clicking on either the Edit Format (Fig. 2.3) or Customize ... (Fig. 2.11) button , a GUI is provided to facilitate format selection.
