Smart Instrumentation supports saving spec data in the following formats:
-
.isf (only specs whose item type is Instrument)
-
.psr (any single-tag spec, multi- tag spec, or a non-instrument spec)
-
.xls or .xlsx (only specs whose item type is Instrument)
To edit a specification in an external application, you need to save the specification in a format that the external application supports. You can export specifications individually or in batch mode. You can export specification data to the following specifications:
External Editor (supplied with the Smart Instrumentation software package)
Supports working with spec data saved in .isf format, allows you to convert .psr files to .isf format, and import data from .isf files to Smart Instrumentation.
InfoMaker
Supports working with spec data saved in .psr format, does not allow you to import data from .psr files. You first need to convert .psr files to .isf format in External Editor.
Excel
Supports working with spec data saved in .xls or .xlsx format, does not allow you to import data from Excel files back to Smart Instrumentation.
Saving as an .xls Excel formated file is limited to 65,536 rows (256 columns). Use
the .xlsx Excel format, to save more than 65,536 rows (256 columns).
