The graph data is written in a tab-separated table with
two columns: the first is the frequency offset
and the second is the pixel intensity. See also
the File Formats section.
Note: If you change any settings in the Roaming Z-spectrum Dialog, you may need to de-select and re-select the ROI before the graph is updated.
