You can then copy the edited values (using the other application's copy function) and paste back into the inputs fields by clicking . The input values reside in a comma-delimited file-- a file containing the data values in a table as a series of ASCII text lines organized so that each column value is separated by a comma from the next column's value and each row starts a new line. A text file of this sort can be opened in word processing applications such as Microsoft®t Word and Microsoft® Notepad, or converted easily to table format in an application such as Microsoft® Excel.

7. Click to execute with the input values entered. The input values are processed then the calculated values are displayed in the Outputs section.
