Friends,
I have finally found time to spend the better part of the day with the MicroScribe G2, the MS utility software, Morphologika, and have been somewhat successful.

I have created an Excel file of 34 data points/locations on a skull, copied and pasted it to Notepad, and, following Will's excellent video (now watched a dozen times, today minute-by-minute) typed in the correct commands.

What was on my notepad screen was exactly like his, to the letter.
Opening Morphologika, I brought in the file, watching his every move. Indeed, that command and data string were along the right side of the Morphologika window, just like his. When I hit "OK",

however, instead of getting a cluster of data points, I got one point only, in the center of a black field, as if it were displaying the centroid. When I enlarged that black screen, I just got a bunch of colored lights.

I have rechecked my work and the settings so many times now that I could
miss something simple because I have become numbed to it, thus my writing to you.
I have looked in the Morphological help menu to no avail. It clearly is not the machine, it is my "pilot error".
If you can think of a possible solution, please share it. If not, please forward this query to anyone you think may have the answer, as I can't proceed to wireframes, GOA, PCA and the like before I figure this out.

I bet it is something amazingly simple, I am just too dense to see it.
Thanks for reading this babble.
