7.16    Conversion of Data into ASCII Text File 
 
A file conversion function is provided for data processing with other 
spreadsheet software.    Conversion can be made to the following three 
data files. 
•  JCAMP-DX file (*.dx) 
•  ASCII text file (*.txt) 
•  Windows metafile (*.wmf) 
 
NOTES:  1.  The date/time, analysis method and data list (raw data) 
is converted into a JCAMP-DX file. 
  2.  The items selected on the Report tab page of the 
Spectrum Properties window are converted into an 
ASCII text file. 
 
(1)  Load a data file for text conversion and open the data processing 
window.  (Refer to 7.1.) 
 
(2)  Click the Save As command in the File menu. 
 
(3)  A window as in Fig. 7-45 will open.   
Select “ASCII Text Files (*.txt)” in “Save as type.” 
 
For converting a file containing overlaid spectra into an ASCII text, 
select “ASCII Type 1 files (*.txt)” or “ASCII Type 2 files (*.txt).”   
(For details, refer to 7.17.)

7.17    Conversion of Overlaid Spectra into ASCII File 
 
A file conversion function is provided for processing of overlaid spectral 
data with other spreadsheet software.    Conversion can be made to the 
following two ASCII formats. 
•  ASCII type 1 file (*.txt) 
•  ASCII type 2 file (*.txt) 
 
NOTE:  The items selected on the Report tab page of the Spectrum 
Properties window are converted into an ASCII type 1 file or 
ASCII type 2 file.    Note that the instrument conditions are not 
output when the ASCII type 2 file is selected. 
 
(1)  Load a data file for text conversion and open the data processing 
window.  (Refer to 7.1.) 
 
(2)  Click the [Save As command] in the File menu. 
 
(3)  A window as in Fig. 7-47 will open.   
Select either file below in “Save as type.” 
•  ASCII Type 1 files (*.txt) 
•  ASCII Type 2 files (*.txt) 
 
For a single spectrum, select “ASCII type 1 files (*.txt).”

Output Format of ASCII Type 1 file 
 
For a file containing overlaid spectra, a set of item name and data will 
be output in two columns.     
In reading into the Microsoft(R) Excel, setting is made for each cell in 
the following format. 
 
1st spectral data  2nd spectral data  3rd spectral data 
Item name  Data  Item name  Data  Item name  Data 
 
 
Figure 7-48 shows an example of output into the Microsoft(R) Excel.

Output Format of ASCII Type 2 file 
 
For a file containing overlaid spectra, the item name will be output in the 
leftmost column and spectral data in each column.    In reading into the 
Microsoft(R) Excel, setting is made for each cell in the following format. 
 
Item name  1st spectral data  2nd spectral data  3rd spectral data 
 
 
Figure 7-49 shows an example of output into the Microsoft(R) Excel.

  (information tab) button on the Spectrum toolbar.   
A dialog box for input of a sample name/comment will appear.   
The dialog box includes the Info tab. 
 
(3)  Or click the 
  (properties) button on the Processing toolbar.   
The Spectrum Properties window will open.    Click the Info tab.   
A tab page as in Fig. 7-50 will appear. 
 
(You can also open the Spectrum Properties window by selecting 
the Spectrum Properties command from the Edit menu.)

(4)  Input a new sample name in “Sample” and click OK. 
 
(5)  To save data under the new sample name, click the 
 (save) 
button on the Standard toolbar for updating, and select the Save 
As command from the File menu for saving under a new file 
name.

7.19  Printing of Wavelength and   
Photometric Values on Display 
 
This program provides a function for reading data such as presently 
displayed wavelength and photometric values, traced value on the data 
processing window, etc.    The data can also be printed. 
 
 
Take the following procedure with the monitor window displayed. 
 
(1)  Select the Read Data command from the Tools menu.    (Refer to 
①  in Fig. 7-51.)
