11, “Working with Images”.<br />

Importing ASCII Data<br />

When you open a file containing ASCII data, you must specify the format of the file<br />

before the <strong>iTool</strong> can read the data and place it into the Data Manager. The <strong>iTool</strong> opens<br />

the ASCII Template dialog to allow you to specify the format of the ASCII data.<br />
