Purpose: Notepad Reader & Notepad Table Viewer extend Notepad-based functionality for easy import, export and presentation of pure alphanumerical data. The Notepad reader allows to directly input or copy data into a running protocol. For convenience, this data is stored in a server-based template so it is available again once the protocol is restarted. The Notepad Table Viewer displays data in a column-based table style within Notepad which may be simpler to use as other data viewers and moreover allows easy copy/paste of the data into other Windows software. The example protocol demonstrates a simple use case.
