7.2. Step 2. Input the Experimental Data

Input your data files (TBFT,EADD). Your experimental data must be read in from a properly prepared plain text file.

Each input file represents a data set (either a complete data set or a part of a larger set). You can include several data sets, including tests performed at different temperatures. Although different data sets can have the same or different temperature, each file can have only one temperature. Input multiple temperature data sets using multiple files.

Each physical experiment must be in a separate input file. This requirement also enables efficient plotting and viewing.
