Save Custom Analysis Format #1 (C.G.S.)
This menu will automatically create a custom file format (C.G.S. format). This format is a fixed length field, comma delimited ASCII file that contains unknown weight percent data only. The data will be output to a different file based on the analytical setup used to create the sample (if one was used). The file naming convention is based on the file setup name used to create the sample. For example, samples created using a setup file called FELDSPAR.MDB, will be output to FELDSPAR.DAT, and so on.
The first column contains an eight character wide field containing the sample name for each data point. The final column contains the totals. All elements, analyzed and specified will be output. The column labels are not enclosed in double quotes but the sample names are. The oxide or elemental basis for calculating the data is based on the first sample of a particular setup file for ensure that the data type is consistent within a single output file.
This format is intended for use with the Canadian Geological Survey MREPORT mineral recalculation program set which has been published as an open file report. An short example is shown here:
