Saving and using calibration data

Description of dialog box

In the Save Calibration As dialog box, you will find a list of all calibration data that has already been saved.

Saving calibration data

Enter a name for the calibration data in the Name field. Select a significant short name that accurately describes the calibration data.

You can then reload this calibration data under this name at a later date.

In the Description field, you can enter a detailed description of the calibration data. One way to use the description would be so as to decide whether or not the calibration data is still relevant or if it could be deleted.

Click the Save button to save the calibration data of the active image and to return to the Calibrate Image dialog box.

Publishing calibration data

All of the calibration data that you've defined yourself and have not later on published, will be indicated by this icon . This data is only available to you. When another user logs on to your PC and starts your software, this data won't be visible to him.

Should you wish to make calibration data available to all of the software's users, choose the Access > Public option. All public calibration data can be recognized by this icon .

Note: Public calibration data can be edited, and even deleted by every user of your software.

Deleting calibration data

To delete calibration data that has already been saved, select an entry and press the [Del] key on your keyboard.
