List Mode Spectra — By default, the Save and Save As... commands offer to save List Mode spectra in
.LIS
format, however, you can also save this data in any of the other file formats. Note that the structure and contents of
.LIS
files is instrument-dependent (see the associated hardware manual for more information), but includes the Detector’s current calibration and sample description.
5.1.4. Export...
The Export... function is used to write spectra in formats other than the usual formats, or to perform other functions such as plotting or printing the spectrum directly. The export program is specified on the
Export tab under File/Settings..., as discussed in Section 5.1.1.2. The program can be one of the programs supplied or can be user-supplied.
When selected, the Export Spec-

The currently displayed spectrum must be saved to disk before it can be exported. If the currently displayed spectrum has already been stored to disk, that filename is the default. Any file can be selected. The file is then read and the output file is written by the program.
The Export... function is not available for a second file until the first file has been exported and the export program has stopped execution.
Export... can also be used to generate hardcopy plots. To do this, select the GVPlot program
(supplied with GammaVision) as the export program. When Export... has been selected, the
GVPlot program will be executed. If the
-P
switch is specified on the command line (see Sections 5.1.1.2 and 11.1.5), the program will plot the spectrum and exit automatically.
5.1.5. Import...
The Import function is used to read spectrum files that are not in one of the usual formats (e.g.,
.CHN
or
.SPC
). The import program is specified on the Import tab under File/Settings..., as discussed in Section 5.1.1.3. The program can be one of the programs supplied or can be user-
