9.2.11 Loading and saving image buffers
Workflow step: Image, Data collection
When you save a 2D or 3D buffer, two separate files are created:
•
A binary file that contains the image data.
•
An XML file that describes the binary file.
In the Image workflow step, the currently displayed 2D image is saved. In the Data
collection workflow step, the complete buffer of the currently displayed image is saved.
This applies also if you have zoomed in so that only a part of the image is shown in the
window.
Save buffer when the data collection is stopped
1. In the File menu, select Save buffer to file.
Save buffer while still collecting data
1. Click Snapshot.
2. Click Save buffer to file.
Record buffers during the data collection
When recording is active, each acquired buffer is streamed to the connected PC and
saved in a selected target folder.
NOTE
The recording is automatically stopped when the image acquisition stops.
1. Click the correct workflow step: Image for recording of 2D buffers, Data collection for
recording of 3D buffers.
2. Click File.
3. In the dialog box that appears, select a target folder and a file name. The file
name will be used as a prefix for each saved file.
4. Click Save to close the dialog box.
5. Click Record to activate recording.
