Comment
If a NC file contains more than one data group (channels with different number of points), UniPlot creates one file for each group. The file name will be extended with _g1, _g2, etc. For XLS Excel files the number of rows is limited to 16834.
If this limitation is a problem, the data can be exported in the XLSX format. XLSX files can be opened with Excel 2000 or Excel 2003 using the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack. Up to 65000 rows can be used with this Excel Version.

For XLSX files UniPlot will create a sheet for each group.
