This is a step by step procedure for importing site text files. Usually the site text files are delimited with commas or tabs, but they can also be fixed width. Pathloss 5 is flexible enough to read either.
Example link text file in CSV format:
Site name,Call sign,Latitude,Longitude Woking,CHW613,55.47972222,-118.74722222 Fairview,CHW614,55.83722222,-118.59666667
Step 1 - Open CSV file
Click View - Site List to bring up the Site index. You can also click the Site list button on the toolbar.
Click Import - Site text file
A file open dialog box will appear. Select the text file you would like to import and click Open
Step 2 - Importing
This is a comma delimited file with column headers. Select Delimited and because we do not want to import the column names, set Start import at line to 2.
Click the Next button. Make sure that the delimeter is set to Comma and click the Next button.
Hi-lite each column and while it is hi-lited, select the appropriate column name from the list on the right.
