Hello,

I am importing several data files into EZChrom from Chemstation as .asc files. In order to work with them in EZChrom I need to save them as 32 bit files (.dat). The problem is I have to open each file then file/save as 32 bit which take quite a while. Does anyone know a way to automate this or save an entire sequence as 32bit files?

Thank you,
Damien

or use GUI File Open ... File Save As ...

HI, first of all happy new year.
It is a bit awkward but this is what i normally do. I read the ChemStation files as .ch files directly into EZChrom or OpenLAB EZChrom.
I create a sequence with the .ch files. Then yes i need to store them manually one by one as .dat files. There is no batch conversion for that.

Once stored as .dat the files can be reprocessed and the results been stored in the .dat files for the future.

That's what I was afraid of. This guide http://orsat.com/pdfs/EliteCSAutomation ... entKit.pdf talks about setting up ezchrom automation to do it automatically "DataSaveAs Method" but from what I cal tell ezchrom automation is an extra module that would need to be purchased.
