6.3.1 Opening a Data File
To open a data file, click the File Open icon or select File | Open from the
menu. (TOACI1, TOA5, TOB1, TOB2, and TOB3 data files can be opened
with View.) When a file is first opened, it is displayed in the data panel in a
tabular format.
6.3.2 Opening Other Types of Files
To open a file that is not a data file (*.DLD, *.CSI, *.PTI, *.FSL, *.LOG,
*.CRX) select File | Open As Text from the menu. Files opened in this mode
cannot be graphed.
A file opened in this mode can be viewed only in its original format (i.e., as
text). This mode is most often used to open files other than data files (or to
quickly open data files, but without any of View’s graphing capabilities).
In text mode, data can be copied to the Windows clipboard and pasted into
other applications. This is done by highlighting the text and choosing Edit |
Copy from the menu.
6.3.3 Opening a File in Hexadecimal Format
To open a file in hexadecimal format select File | Open As Hex from the menu.
This may be useful when viewing binary files.
6.4 Importing a CSV File
The File | Import CSV menu item can be used to import a CSV (Comma
Separated Value) file into View.
When you select the File | Import CSV menu item, a browser will be displayed
allowing you to browse to the CSV file to be imported. By default, only files
with a .csv extension will be shown. If your file does not have a .csv
extension, you will need to use the drop-down list box to select .txt files or all
files.
