Question:

In the Create Profile command, with the source set to ASCII, what is the proper format of the ASCII input file?

Answer:

The file should contain one data point per line. Each line should consist of three values: station, elevation, and a pen-up/pen-down flag which are separated by a space, not a comma. The station and elevation values should be a floating point number, and the pen number can be one of three values. To view more than one surface, the pen-up/pen-down flag must be included. The first point in the profile should have a value of 1. Subsequent points should have a value of 0, and the last point should have a value of 6. Profile ASCII files have an extension of .se. This command supports station equations.

The file format would be as follows:

10000 285 1
10200 285 0
10400 288 0
10600 290 0
10800 280 0
11000 275 6
10000 285.5 1
10200 288 0
10400 292 0
10600 290.2 0
10800 280.3 0
11000 273 6
