Saving Spectra, Exporting Spectra and
Reporting
In OilExpress 4 software, data is saved to a database. There are various features in the
software to help you present your data outside OilExpress 4.
Exporting Spectra
You can export spectra as PerkinElmer-format (*.sp), ASCII (*.asc), comma-separated values
(*.csv) or JCAMP-DX (*.dx) files to a user-defined folder, as they are generated, using the
Output spectra to folder
option on the Reporting Options dialog (Figure 47). This facilitates
further analysis of spectra using another software package such as Spectrum software. The
option
No output spectra
is selected by default.

from the File menu.
On the dialog, you can enter a name and location for the folder, and select the file type

Transmittance (%T) ordinate units.
