Hello
Each time I try to load a CSV file - something simple like a standard topography file (Longitude, Latitude, Elevation) as decimal values, it gives a window error message:
Cannot set up lookup table, no X array
Failed to locate the data to plot on either axes
This is a small snippet of the data - topo1.csv
"Long","Lat","Elevation"

Am I missing something here with regards to CSV data files are concerned?
Thanks for any help
