You can find instructions for specifying a custom heat transfer fluid (HTF) for each of the CSP technologies in Help: From the solar field page, press F1 in Windows or Command-? in Mac OS to open Help, and then expand the "Specifying a Custom Heat Transfer Fluid" section.

Note that you must provide at least two rows of values in the HTF table, and that you must provide values for each of the properties in the units shown in the table's column headings.

I've attached for reference a spreadsheet showing the property tables for each of the HTF included in SAM's default HTF library.

Best regards,
Paul.
