Hi,
I've got some problems that certain data files are failing to open in SpecProc. I can open them manually in ML and it's working fine. Failed to open file XXX Attempted 3 retries. At function 1
These specific files are sliced data files from a big original file, which opens fine in both, SpecProc and ML (manual).
As I can open them in ML by hand, I don't really know where to look for the culprit. Any help would be great.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi,
I don't know exactly what is happening, but I think the clue in that they are sliced files.
I suspect that there is a missing file or files in the .raw folder. For a reason that I can't explain (as I don't know) this does not stop it opening directly, but does stop it opening with SpecProc (even though behind the scenes SpecProc just pushes the Open button!).
If you look in a .raw folder there is a bunch of stuff in there, all prefixed with _ (underscore), such as func001.dat and header.txt
If you compare this to your sliced file's .raw folder I'm guessing it is missing something like extern.inf Just copy the missing file from the original folder into the sliced folder and see if that fixes it.
Don't worry about the big .dat functions (if you have multiple functions in the original), it will be the smaller ancilliary files that are tripping it up.
Let me know how this

Hi,
Thanks for your fast reply! This was it, the extern.inf file was missing. Perfect, thanks a lot!
