3. If the Save As dialog box appears, type a filename and select a directory
in which to save the spectrum.
To save the spectrum using a file type other than Spectra (OMNIC .SPA
format), select the desired type from the Save File As Type drop-down list
box and type the appropriate extension at the end of the filename. Each listed
file type shows the correct extension.
Note
You can specify a default directory in the File options (available through Options
in the Edit menu). See “Specifying directories” in the “Edit” chapter. ▲
If you want the spectrum saved so that it can be opened later but not changed
and saved with the changes, turn on the Read Only check box near the lowerleft
corner of the dialog box.
4. Choose OK.
Saving spectra
using new filenames
Use Save As in the File menu to save one or more spectra in files on a disk using
new filenames. In addition to saving spectral data in regular OMNIC files (with
the extension .SPA), you can select other file types such as PCIR, JCAMP-DX,
Nicolet SX/DX, TIFF, CSV (comma-separated values), WMF (Windows metafile)
or Mattson. The available file types are shown in a drop-down list box in the Save
As dialog box.
The TIFF and WMF file types save only the graphical information of the
spectrum; you can open these files using an appropriate graphics program.
The CSV file type saves only the spectral data in a numerical form; you can open
this type of file using an appropriate spreadsheet program. (You can also open this
file type using OMNIC.)
If you save data in a CSV text file, only the selected spectral region (or displayed
region if no region is selected) is saved.
Save spectra using new filenames
Note
If you have the DS option, you may be prompted to digitally sign a file;
follow the instructions that appear on the screen. If you want to sign the
file, turn on Use Digital Signature in the Save As dialog box. ▲
1. Select the spectra.
If you are saving data in a CSV text file, display or select the spectral region
you want to save by using the view finder or region tool. Only the selected
region, or displayed region if no region is selected, will be saved.
If you are saving data in a Windows metafile, there is no need to select a
spectrum; all the spectra in the spectral window will be saved.
2. Choose Save As from the File menu.
The Save As dialog box appears.
