Sample:
Note
- Specify items by separating them using "|".
Single-byte space and tab characters can also be used to pad each
column.
- The following units are used for outer diameters,
inner diameters and slit widths according to the analysis mode.
- In Auto mode, "mm" is always used.
- In Semi-auto mode, the units specified in
the command dialog are used.
