Use the File>Open>Text Import menu option to load an ascii data file in Encom PA. A minimum requirement of columns for importing ascii data is X (Easting), Y (Northing) and Z.
The Text Import (Import ASCII) utility supports the following ascii data formats:

DAT files (.dat)

Importing ASCII data containing a labels field

If you are attempting to import ASCII data (e.g. comma delimited .CSV format) into Encom PA and this is not successfully importing information contained within a text field follow the below alternative instructions to import the ASCII data to a MapInfo .TAB file.
Please close down Encom PA and enter the following line into the Startup.etm file found in your C:\Program Files

\Encom\Encom PA directory.

\Conversion-Window\ASCII Data to MapInfo .TAB| ImportASCII.exe -PID %PID% -PA –TAB

Then save the file and reopen Encom PA.

In the Conversion menu you will find a new entry for “ASCII data to MapInfo TAB” which is exactly the same as the text import utility

You can select which fields to use for the X and Y fields of a database by selecting
File>Modify Dataset Properties menu option to display the Modify Dataset Properties
dialog.

If using a 2D Graph you can nominate any field to be the X and Y axes in the X-Bands and Y-Bands
Properties dialogs .
