Text file input

Inputting data into SPACE GASS via a text file is sometimes faster than using datasheet input, however it is not as user friendly and is not recommended for first time users of SPACE GASS.

You can use Windows Notepad to edit or create text files. The text editor linked to SPACE GASS can be started by choosing "Text editor" from the File menu.

SPACE GASS text file names have the form <name>.TXT, where <name> is any name. The text file should be located in the text data folder as created during the installation procedure.
