Import Text
Choose Import > Text File... from files created and saved from several other formats (e.g. Excel) or a file that was created previously using the Export feature of Logger Pro available in the File menu. Data are imported only into the Latest data columns. You can also use this feature to import data prepared or collected in another program into Logger Pro. Several different formats are supported and are automatically detected.
Supported Formats
- Tab-delimited text format used by Export Text (a .txt, .TEXT, .dat or .csv extension).
- Generic tab or comma-separated data. Data can be strings or numbers.
Notes
- If a word processing program is used to prepare data in any of these formats the file must be saved as text.
- Each text file created in Logger Pro has a specific structure that includes a time stamp, data column names, short names, units, and data. If you make changes to the exported file, be sure to preserve the structure. After choosing this option, select the appropriate file name in the Open File dialog.
