Description
Spectral data files opened using Open in the File menu or saved using Save As
in the File menu. (This file type also includes spectra saved using Save if the
spectrum has not been saved before. In this case, the Save As dialog box
appears when you save the spectrum.)
Experiment files selected using the Experiment drop-down list box or the Open

The directory for this file type is used as the default directory for storing new
libraries you create with the Create Library button in Library Manager.
Series data files opened using the OMNIC Series software. (This software lets
you collect a series of spectra over time using a Thermo Nicolet GC or TGA
interface or other appropriate hardware. See the OMNIC Series Help system or
the OMNIC Series User’s Guide for more information.)
Quantitative analysis methods opened using Quant Setup. See “Selecting a
quant method” in the “Analyze” chapter for details.
Report template files selected, edited or created with Template in the Report
menu and reports previewed or printed with Preview/Print Report in the Report
menu.
Map files created using the OMNIC Atlµs software. This software lets you
perform automated data collection and spectral mapping experiments with a
Thermo Nicolet microspectrometer system. See the OMNIC Atlµs Help system
or the OMNIC Atlµs User’s Guide for more information.
