How do I go about creating a *.map file? I need a two-column look up table. I have tried Excel, wordpad and such but cannot find a 'save-as' .map option. Please help! Thanks, Eric

If you go to in the menu: Diagram > Examples > Blocks > Nonlinear, there are a few map examples. You can edit a .map file using Notepad and save the file as .txt and then rename it as .map in Windows

The file suffix does not matter. You can use .csv (Excel comma separated value), .txt, .dat, .map, or .foobar
