Greetings!

What is the proper way in Origin to import the following XRF file into the target project?

Thank you.

Hello Andrey,

Since XRF files are not standard and they come in all sorts of formats, you will need to customize your import settings with an Import Filter.

You can use the Import Wizard to parse the headers and data. Then you can use some LabTalk to control the other aspects of your worksheet.

See this attached Import Filter I have created, for example:
https://my.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/XRF_10s_2Beam.oif

Just drag and drop the .oif file into your Origin workspace to install it.
You can then drag and drop your .XRF file to import it.

Go to Preferences: Import Filters Manager, select the Import Filter and select 'Edit' to see the settings.

Best,
Chao

Dear Chao,

Works like a charm!
I didn't know that the standard text loader can also load user parameter rows.

Thank you.
