    Overview of external readers and the Altair Binary Format, the generic ASCII reader, running applications in batch mode, using Tcl/Tk commands, translators, and result math.

    • Extensions

      Extensions are programs integrated with the application to enhance or extend the user experience.

    • External Readers and Altair Binary Format

      Altair Binary Format (ABF) is the standard binary format read by the program. A library called abflib allows you to create files in ABF.

    • Generic ASCII Reader

      A generic ASCII reader is now available which allows you to bring custom results directly into HyperView. The Altair ASCII format is useful for reading the results of any in-house or propriety codes which are saved in a generic format.

    • Batch Mode

      Batch mode allows you perform a series of operations outside the program interface.

    • External Resources

      External resources can be registered in preference files, session files, or Templex files. If an external resource is registered in a program session, it is automatically registered in the session file when the session is saved.
