13.7 READING DATA INTO LOTUS 1-2-3
The data written to the target device can be read into Lotus 1-2-3 for further analysis with the powerful
tools in 1-2-3. To read the data, use the -'F I (File Import) command with the IH (Numbers) option. The
position of the worksheet cell pointer will be the upper left corner of the region occupied by the imported
data.
Lotus 1-2-3 expects files read in this way to conform to a certain format (which is used by =D =FE)
and to have the filename extension ". FFM". A file created by [M=z[llzxFF under the name
M¥'F ILE. FEM can be read into 1-2-3 with the key sequence ~'F IMIM%'F IL.E followed by a <return>.
Every row in the Import file will correspond to one scan. The first column will contain the date of the
scan (in text form YY/MM/DD). The second column will contain the time of the scan (in text form
HH:MM:SS). The remaining columns will contain the actual data collected with each scan: from 1 to 30
columns of numeric data.
