Importing Touchstone format into JMPI'm trying to evaluate JMP before purchasing the software. I would like to use JMP to analyze Touchstone files. However, it is not listed as a file type. I've tried importing as a text, but the some of the columns are shifted and are not aligned. Maybe it's because I'm unfamiliar with JSL, but I've looked into the Scripting documentation but I don't see a way I can import *.snp files (where n is the number of ports) i.e. *.s2p, *.s3p, *.s4p. I would have to have a custom delimiter for every row. I've also thought about manipulating the data table after import to see if I can shift a group of cells via scripting, but I don't see the proper code to do that. If anybody has any brilliant idea as to how I can import touchstone properly, please reply. Thanks all.

Touchstone file type are described here:
