Flight segment data can be input from a text file.

The file used can have any name and be located in any directory.

1.The data file must be comma delimited.

2.Each line must contain the data for one flight segment -- length, lift, and label.  Units can be feet, inches, meters, cm or mm. The flight segment label is optional. There must be no other data before or after the flight data.

3.In Belt Analyst™, right-click on the profile where the flight segments should be inserted; then follow the instructions for selecting a text file.

4.Use the Input Profile Form to review the flight data.

5.Enter other flight segment data in BA -- idler spacing, percent loaded, skirtboard length, cleaners, etc…

Text files can be created by programs such as Microsoft Windows® Notepad.

This procedure will only import the carry side of the conveyor; to create the return side at the same time with the same profile, the flight input mode should be set at "Auto Return Segments".
