If you have an ASCII file with data, there are two ways to use it in MultiCharts: ASCII Mapping and ASCII Import.<br>
Comparison chart below will help you to choose the method to suit your needs:
{| class="wikitable"
|<p align="center">'''ASCII Mapping'''</p>
|<p align="center">'''ASCII Import'''</p>
|-
|<p align="left">
Data is not imported into the database.<br>
When data is plotted, MultiCharts reads it from your file.<br>
[[Editing_Data|Edit Data]] menu will be empty.
</p>
|<p align="left">
Data is imported into the database.<br>
You’ll see imported values in the [[Editing_Data|Edit Data]] menu.
</p><!--ASCII Import-->
|-
|<p align="left">
If your file was modified, the data on charts will update accordingly.</p>
|<p align="left">
If your file was modified, you’ll need to import it again to update the values in the database.</p><!--ASCII Import-->
|-
|<p align="left">It’s possible to map multiple symbols at the same time.</p><!--ASCII Mapping-->
|<p align="left">Data for each symbol should be imported separately.</p><!--ASCII Import-->
|-
