Contributed Databases for use with SALT 20

Databases posted here have been contributed. You may download these database files and add them to databases that came with the software, or databases you may have created from your own data. If you use these databases as part of any presentation or publication, please include an appropriate reference.

Download the database file(s) and store them in SALT's external database folder which, by default, is "Documents\My SALT Data\External Reference Databases" (a folder which is created the first time you open SALT 20). Once stored in this folder, the databases can be used for comparison within SALT. They cannot be opened outside of SALT. The following document provides additional details: How to Add a Reference Database to SALT 20
