7.5.5 Recording images
Use the Image recording button ( ) to save 3D images to disk. The saved images can be
used in the emulator to configure tools offline. See "Using the SOPAS ET emulator",
page 54 for information on how to use the emulator.
The saved images are Portable Network Graphics (.png) files which contain both range
data and reflectance data. Each file name includes the name of the active job, the
image number and the overall image decision.
To save images to disk:
1. Click the Image recording button.
✓
The Image recording settings window opens, and the Image recording button turns
black.
2. Select a destination folder.
3. Select the Max number of images checkbox to specify the maximum number of
images to save.

tion folder.
5. Click the Start button.
✓
The image recording starts. An image is saved each time a scan is made.
6. Click the Image recording button stop the image recording. If the Max number of images
checkbox was selected, the recording will stop automatically when the specified
number of images have been saved.
