Import and Export Data into START-PROF Neutral Format Files

Neutral format is used for linking START-PROF data with other software. Data is saved in a text format (Windows format), allowing export and import of input and output data, which allows data exchange between START-PROF and other software.

To import data from neutral format files, use  File > Open, and select Neutral Format File (.ini) in the file type field.
