If Put Opened Spectrum In New Window is on or if no spectral window exists,
the spectra will be displayed in a new spectral window. See “Placing opened
spectra into new spectral windows” in the “Edit” chapter for more information.
2. Choose Open from the File menu.
The Open dialog box lists files of the Spectra (*.SPA) file type. You can list
files of other types by selecting a type from the List Files Of Type drop-down
list box.
3. Type the name of the file you want to open, or locate and select one or
more files.
To select one file, click its filename. To select more than one, hold down the
Control key and click the desired filenames. You can change directories or
drives to locate the files.
Whenever possible a “preview” image of the spectrum appears in the dialog
box. If you select multiple files of this type, an image of the spectrum you
selected first appears.
Note
You can specify a default directory in the File options (available through Options in
the Edit menu). If you select one file, the spectrum’s title appears in the Spectrum
Title box. If you select more than one, the first selected spectrum’s title appears. ▲
4. Choose OK.
If you are opening a CSV text file, the Parameters dialog box lets you set
several parameters that affect the conversion of the data or that record
information about the spectrum.
If the file you are opening contains evenly spaced data points, you can use the
default settings. If the file contains unevenly spaced data points, set the
parameters. Use the More button to display additional parameters and set them.
