• How to convert Minitab files to JMP® files

  JMP^® can import Minitab Portable file format (.MTP files) directly, without any need for Minitab itself. For Minitab Worksheet files (.MTW), JMP initiates a batch process where JMP creates a batch file of Minitab batch commands that actually causes Minitab to convert the worksheet to a temporary Minitab Portable file. It is this temporary Minitab Portable file that is then read into JMP. Because J...
