Before sumitting data to OLAF, you may need to format your data files. The requirements for the various types of data are outlined below. Preparing Data Files
Telescope Spectral Tables
A spectral table is an ASCII table containing either 2 or 3 fixed-width columns where the first column is wave length, wave number, or frequencey. The second column is an observed value, and the optional third column is error. View the complete list of requirements.Laboratory Spectral Tables
A spectral table is an ASCII table containing either 2 or 3 fixed-width columns where the first column is wave length, wave number, or frequencey. The second column is an observed value, and the optional third column is error. View the complete list of requirements.Time Series Tables
A time series table is an ASCII table containing either 2 or 3 fixed-width columns where the first column is a time, the second column is an observed value, and the optional third column is error. View the complete list of requirements.Generic Tables
