I had an issue where my csv was being read as an ASCII in Matlab - I saved the csv again with UTF-8 (with no BOM) from Notepad and this worked to make the csv readable (as I saw it was saved with BOM).
For anyone else who may have the same issue as me.

The file that was uploaded is already pure ASCII.
The only thing I notice is that it uses newlines alone for end of line; it is possible that the other program needs carriage-return as well as newlines. If so then
S = fileread('Wavelength (nm)_Counts.csv');
S = regexprep(S, '\n', '\r\n');
fid = fopen('Counts_with_CR.csv', 'w');
fwrite(fid, S);
fclose(fid);
Now Counts_with_CR.csv will have the same content but with CR/NL delimiter.

The code writes out a file Counts_with_CR.csv which would be what you would try with the CytoSpec software.
