To download a Visual Spec compatible spectrum from this page:

Find the star you want and click on "plot"
Tick the "ascii file" box, chose the range you want and click "plot"
A link to a txt file will appear. Download this
Change the file type from txt to uvs and load it into Vspec using "load"
"profile", selecting uvs file type in the drop down box
