space-delimited archived ASCII data

Space-delimited archived ASCII data is ASCII data in which one of the data columns is used to hold the line number. An example follows:

/ X Y Z

290.0 10517.0 8013.0 56600.4 

290.0 10517.0 7977.0 56598.0 

290.0 10516.0 7940.0 56595.1 

290.0 10515.0 7904.0 56592.2 
If you import data that is in a standard space-delimited archive format, the data is imported into a random type line (type ‘D’). You must import the line data column as a separate data channel and then split the line into its component lines ( Split on Line Channel) and then delete the original line.
