Summary

• Create a Curve Library by importing information written in a predefined Text format.

• The text file format is CSV (Comma-Separated Values) in UTF-8 format, so you must save it in that format before importing.

How to Run

[Curve Library Mode]

• Ribbon Menu > [Curve Library] Tab > [Import] Group > Text File
