Figure 12. ASCII file importation setup dialog box, with data

The top half of the dialog box is a look at the first 20 lines of the raw data
collected in your ASCII text file. The bottom right window, an “item #n” window,
serves as a visual reminder of fields you are defining or using to describe the raw
data you will be extracting.

Below the raw data window (and to the left of the “item #n” window) are areas
where you can define new relationships for your data. You do so by working with
three variables:

• Position

• Description

• Unit

Your objective is to map the usable values in your raw data window to those
three variables. In the course of mapping values, you assign descriptions and
units to them.

To see the interaction of mapped positions to variables

If there is more than one “item #n” entry, click on one that is not highlighted to
see the effect in the Position, Description, and Unit boxes.
