6.9.2 FILE MENU
Open RAW File (single image only)
This command should be used to import a single
image into the currently active image window. Only
files with the extension and format of *.b16 (=PCO
proprietary binary image format) and *.tif (16 bit
TIFF image format) can be imported. If the recorder
is enabled, each imported image will be transferred
to the buffer shown in the picture number. The
image itself will be fitted to the current image size.
If the recorder is disabled, the current image sizes
will be set to the parameters of the imported image.
Open RAW Recorder Sequence (image sequence from one camera)
This command is used to import a sequence of images. If more than
one camera is connected and an image window is currently open, the
sequence will be loaded to the active window. If no image window is
open, the images will be loaded to camera #1. This command opens
the Open file dialog box. Only files with the extension and the format
of *.b16, *.pcoraw, *.tif and multi tif can be imported.
Save RAW File (single image only)
This command should be used to save the image, which is displayed
in the active window. The command opens the Save file dialog box.
The image file can be saved in 16bit *.b16 and *.tif format. If more
than one camera is connected, it is possible to save all current
images by selecting Export all images in the Save file dialog box.
With this feature it is possible to save one image of each active
camera within one process step (it is not necessary to repeat the
save process for each camera). The Save command will not be
available, if no image window is open. For Auto File Save see 6.8.1
Save RAW Recorder Sequence (image sequence from one
camera)
This command should be used to save or
export image sequences. If more than
one camera is connected and an image
window is currently open, the record of
the active window will be saved. The
command opens the Save recorder file
dialog box. It is possible to select the
number of saved images, to step images
and to choose the first image number. For Auto File Save see 6.8.1
Export File (not reloadable!)
Use this command to export the image of the active image window.
This command will open the Export Image dialog box. Files with the
extensions fts, tif, bmp, asc, jpg, and jp2 can be exported. This item
will not be visible, if no image window is open. For Auto File Save
see 6.8.1

different storage abili-
ties of the formats, for
example *.bmp - the
allows for 8bit values
to be stored and
therefore the image
content of a 16 bit
image is reduced, if
stored as bitmap.
