It is possible to edit the data files with a text editor but it is not recommended. If changes are made to a data file that do not conform to the proper data file format, the program may be unable to properly interpret the data. Directly editing a data will not allow the user to bypass the limits set in the user interface. The data is always rechecked before running the computation.
