Open DATA File

A DATA type file is used by Analysis Studio, a data mining and statistical analysis program.

It contains data in plain, tab-delimited text, including an Analysis Studio file header.

DATA files are commonly used to store data for later analysis without connection to the Analysis Studio server, but can also be used in online mode.
