ConcatXY

ConcatXY is a handy tool you’ll want to have around when it comes to combining multiple XY-pair files and exporting the results into CSV format. It’s super useful!

What Are XY-Pair Files?

So, you might be wondering what exactly an XY-pair file is. These files are simply ASCII text data files. They usually have columns of abscissa (that’s the X value) and ordinate (the Y value) pairs, all separated by some character. If you want to open one, just double-click on it! Most of the time, your computer will use Notepad or another basic program to get it open.

Why Use ConcatXY?

Now, there are times when opening a single file isn’t enough—you need to combine several of them! That’s where ConcatXY really shines. This application has a simple and user-friendly interface with just a few options and buttons that make everything straightforward.

Getting Started with ConcatXY

Before diving in, you'll need to pick the working directory where all your .pmf files are stored. Once you do that, the main window will show you all the files it finds, plus any folders or sub-directories. It makes organizing everything super easy!

Add Your Personal Touch

A cool feature of ConcatXY is that it lets you add single-line comments and insert comment signs for each file. You can also choose your separator for every file. This means you can customize your XY-pair files just how you like them!

Tweak for Accuracy

If accuracy is key for your work, don’t worry! You can set up the base or zero position however you need it. Plus, if necessary, you can adjust the abscissa value too! This way, ConcatXY generates precise results tailored just for you.

Your Go-To Tool!

All things considered, ConcatXY is perfect for anyone who needs to quickly combine different XY-pair files by setting specific separators, comment signs, and base positions. It really takes the hassle out of managing data!
