Synchronize Image Windows

Switching the synchronization on and off

Click the Synchronize Image Windows button to synchronize navigation in all of the images that have been loaded. The button changes its function to Stop Synchronization . Click the Stop Synchronization button once again, to cancel the synchronization.

What exactly does synchronization mean?

There are different ways in which you can browse images. You can enlarge images and display different image segments in the image window. Or you can browse through a time stack. With synchronized images you browse through an image and in doing so, automatically change the way that other images are displayed.

Which images have been synchronized?

Image windows that are synchronized have this symbol in their header.

Note: This command applies only to the images that have already been loaded. An image that you now acquire or load, will not be synchronized with the other image windows.

Where do you find this function?

You will find the Synchronize Image Windows button on the Window toolbar.

Alternatively, you will also find this command on the Documents tool window's toolbar, and in its context menu. To open the context menu, rightclick the Documents tool window.

Settings for the synchronization

The Tools > Options > Images > Synchronize dialog box, offers you several settings with which you can change the synchronization's behavior.
