1.2.1Software Applications Compatibility
You can use the Data Explorer Macro Recorder function to create Visual Basic scripts to automate tasks. You can also use the Visual Basic Editor directly to create more complex programs customized to suit your needs. For more information, see Section 6.7, Using the Macro Recorder.
Additionally, you can convert data to ASCII format for import into other software applications or import ASCII results. For more information, see Section 1.6.3, Converting to and Exporting ASCII Data, and Section 1.6.4, Importing a Trace in ASCII Format.
1.2.2 Data (.DAT) File Format
.DAT file format Data generated by Mariner and Voyager systems is stored in
.DAT file format. The .DAT file format incorporates all information about how a data file was acquired and processed into a single file. This format improves data processing and data storage efficiency.
Data files can contain spectra from a single acquisition or from multiple acquisitions (for example, multiple spectral data from a Voyager acquisition or multiple injection results from a Mariner CombiSolv run).
