Loading Data

Data can be loaded using the load command. In the current version, only one data set can be loaded at any one time. Loading a new data set will discard any data set currently in memory.

load "file"

Note that, as in all commands requiring file names, the file name must be quoted.

			> load "/path/to/some/file"
			

The data file is expected to be a two-column ASCII (plain text) file. Each line has two numbers separated by one or more space characters. The first number is taken to be the channel number. The second number is taken to be the number of counts in that channel.
