Data Input Window Help

The data input window is how you get your own data into the display and the first step in finding the best-fit model. Here is how to enter the data:

First, from the Flux menu select whether you are inputting data as Total Flux or Flux per Beam. If Total Flux, then type in the observed data in the window as wavelength or frequency, flux, and error (in that order!). If Flux per Beam, then type in the observed data (or cut and paste them from somewhere) into the window as wavelength or frequency, flux, error, and beamsize (in that order). Each value should separated by space, tab, newline, carriage return, comma or any combination thereof.

When ready, select Load from the Data menu (or type CTRL-L in the window)

You can also Unload the data or Clear the data input window using the Data menu. Clearing the window does NOT unload the data.

Using the Units menu of the Data Input Window. Data are entered directly into the window in user-chosen units.
