There are a few ways to export the data. The copy object feature works to
paste into a presentation program such as Powerpoint. We have noticed the
apparent decrease in line resolution in Powerpoint so, to get around it,
right click on the spectrum and change the line style to connected XY.
This should improve line resolution on the copy and paste. Before you copy
object make sure you click outside the spectrum box to remove the
crosshairs. For exporting the data you can try the ascii xy non-even x
spacing export feature. After exporting the ascii data, sigma plot should
have an ascii import feature. I was able to import the large dataset into
Origin and plot the spectrum.
