imports the file, impthree.dat, into the current Labbook. The imported series are loaded into the current window using separate colors.

importfile("data.dat")

imports the file, data.dat, into the current Labbook. If the data file does not contain a DADiSP header, the standard importing defaults are used.

importfile("data2.dat","data2.hed",1)

imports the file, data.dat, using the header file, data2.hed, into the current Labbook, and automatically loads the Dataset into the current Window.
