Open
Selecting the Open menu option displays a dialog box that allows you to open (under the Files of Type
drop-down option) Processed Spectra, Grams/32 SPC Files, or All Files. To open specific file types,
select File | Open from the menu, and then choose dark, sample dark, reference, sample, processed, or
experiment data files.
When you open a data file and the acquisition parameters of the file do not match the file currently open,
a warning box allows you to change the acquisition parameters, ignore the disparity between the
parameters, or cancel the opening of the data file.
